Description

The Fraction Math app can be used to teach and study fractions by solving addition, subtraction, division and multiplication problems with fractions step by step. Wired.com: "Quite a useful app for learning many fraction computations."

The Fraction Math app can handle positive and negative fractions, improper fractions, whole numbers and mixed numbers. The user can also reduce the resulting fractions.

The user can input his/her own fractions, mixed numbers, and whole numbers. The app has also an illustrated glossary of the most common terms.

"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."

Suitable for several grades and also for adults

A third-grade student can use the app to add and subtract fractions with equal denominators.

A fourth-grade student can use the app to add or subtract fractions and mixed numbers with different denominators and also to reduce the resulting fractions.

A fifth-grade student can multiply fractions by whole numbers and other fractions. She can also divide fractions and mixed numbers.

A sixth or higher-grade student can use negative fractions, whole numbers and mixed numbers in the problems. She can also use larger numbers.

The above grades and their uses of the app are only provided as examples.

The user can choose how to solve the problems

In each step the user is presented with two choices. Sometimes both of the choices are right. When multiplying fractions the user can choose to first multiply the numerators or the denominators.

In those cases when there is only one possible next step, the user can choose between the right step and a random wrong step. For wrong steps, the app will tell, why that is the wrong step.

Intelligent help system

The Fraction Math app has a help system that provides over 60 context sensitive tips based on the state of the app. For example, when searching for a lowest common denominator, the help system will first tell how to search for the answer. If, after trying herself the user cannot find the answer, the help system will tell her what the lowest common denominator is.

Smart keyboard

When the user has to enter numbers, the Fraction Math app uses the same intuitive smart rolling keyboard as my other apps. Only one tap is needed to enter any number. In reducing fractions, a special prime number keyboard is shown.

Every step is animated

Every step in solving the problems is animated. The speed of the animations can be set and they can also be turned off.

Fun illustrations

The 60 different tips have a lot of information about fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions and reduction of fractions. The tips have over 50 illustrations to keep the user interested in reading the tips.

The app has the following settings:

- allow addition
- allow subtraction
- allow multiplication
- allow division
- only allow fractions with same denominators
- allow whole numbers
- allow mixed numbers
- allow negative numbers
- allow numbers grater than 12

Incredible!

What We Liked:

Where was this app when I was learning fractions! Seriously – didn’t anyone else struggle with all those steps – all different for each operation? I certainly did. The worst of it was that when I was solving the problems on my own, I never knew where I’d gone wrong, just that the answer is incorrect.

If only I’d had such a supportive, gentle app like this to guide me through each step – solidifying each operation and fraction type before moving on to another – this app is simply incredible. Fraction Math serves like a one-on-one tutor checking each and every step of the process and redirecting when necessary – getting to the right answer is inevitable.

The gentle but comprehensive, step-by-step approach Fraction Math takes gives me hope and confidence that it is possible to master fractions math with enough practice! There are never any negative consequences, nor are there any flash rewards, just the rich, satisfying feeling of learning, solving, all with a net to catch you, back you up, and teach you when you go wrong.

The incredible flexibility really lets you gear the app up our down in difficulty, and because it lets you enter ANY two-part fraction problem of your own, it is almost infinitely customizable.

What We Didn’t Like:

Nothing.

Overall:

Fraction Math is visually simple, but don’t let that fool you. This app is the ultimate, step-by-step personal tutor for gently guiding your child through the processes and steps needed to master adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. Filled with flexible options and the ability to input your own problems, this app simply isn’t to be missed – once your child conceptually understands fractions and is ready to compute – you’ll want to download this one.
