Fraction Math helps students learn and practice fraction calculations step by step.
The app can be used to study addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with fractions. It supports positive and negative fractions, improper fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers. Students can also reduce the resulting fractions.
Students can enter their own fractions, mixed numbers, and whole numbers. The app also includes an illustrated glossary of common fraction terms.
Wired.com:
“Quite a useful app for learning many fraction computations.”
Fun Educational Apps:
“Fraction Math app is easy to use and really takes you step by step when adding, subtracting or multiplying fractions.”
Step-by-step fraction practice:
In each step, the student is shown two possible choices. Sometimes both choices are correct. For example, when multiplying fractions, the student can choose to multiply the numerators or the denominators first.
When there is only one correct next step, the other choice is a wrong step. If the student chooses the wrong step, the app explains why it is wrong.
Intelligent help system:
Fraction Math includes over 60 context-sensitive tips based on the current problem. For example, when finding the lowest common denominator, the help system first explains how to look for the answer. If the student still needs help, it can show the lowest common denominator.
Animated learning:
Every step is animated. The animation speed can be adjusted, and animations can also be turned off.
Smart keyboard:
When entering numbers, Fraction Math uses an intuitive rolling keyboard. Only one tap is needed to enter a number. When reducing fractions, a special prime number keyboard is shown.
Illustrated fraction tips:
The app includes many tips about fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and reducing fractions. The tips include over 50 illustrations.
Useful for different skill levels:
- Add and subtract fractions with equal denominators
- Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with different denominators
- Reduce resulting fractions
- Multiply fractions by whole numbers or other fractions
- Divide fractions and mixed numbers
- Use negative fractions, whole numbers, mixed numbers, and larger numbers
Settings:
- Allow addition
- Allow subtraction
- Allow multiplication
- Allow division
- Only allow fractions with the same denominator
- Allow whole numbers
- Allow mixed numbers
- Allow negative numbers
- Allow numbers greater than 12

Good but needs a little more to it. I would like to be able to go back a step or two in case I forget where I was in an exercise.
So useful

I am glad to find a fraction app that really goes through the steps with you. Fractions can be such a tough concept for kids. This app lets you customize levels (same denominator only, no big numbers, etc.), and it doesn't let you get off track with its friendly explanations when you try the wrong thing. I especially like how you find a common denominator for addition and subtraction.
Top 5 Math App. Best Customer Service/Care
Merciless Max
This app is perfect for 3rd graders and up. I've purchased more than 30 elementary school level math apps and this app is in the top 5 we use most. The developer responded to my email in less than 2 hours and fixed the issue with a new update amazingly fast. Wow, thank you. Finals are next week and I'm looking forward to using this app over the weekend. Thank you for looking after your customers.
Learn and have fun at the same time
