Learn Fractions And Have Fun While Doing It With These Apps

Percent & Smart Pirates - fun and easy way to learn percent with the Caribbean Pirates. Equivalent forms, Comparing percent and Percent problems - If you're struggling with percent problems Percent & Smart Pirates is your answer.

On the first island the player learns to convert beetween fractions and percent. In order to do so he/she offers the pirates some slices of pizza and try to guess what part of the pizza is left for other pirates to eat in the boat. If there is a mistake the pirates get in trouble.

On the second island, the pirates have to get across the bottomless abyss. In order to do it, they should balance the bridge using firecracker baskets. Help the pirates - choose a basket with an equivalent percents.

On the third island the pirates come across an unexpected rival - one-eyed Captain. But our brave old sea dogs are not scared at all! With the player's help the pirates should get bigger watermelons than the Captain has.


On the fourth island, the pirates are tempted to treat themselves with a few pieces of a lovely cake. Offer him these cakes and guess on percent problems. If there is a mistake in calculation, the pirate's becomes sad and hungry, as the cake is eaten by a perky parrot.


Features:

- Four games in one: Fractions as a percents, equivalents, comparison and percents problems.

- Fun animations of the pirate and his friends

- Training mode at the start of every level

- Three different levels of difficulty in each game: Easy, Medium and Hard

- Advanced training mode at the every level

Fraction Match is a game for 2-4 players where the object is to remember the positions of 12 fractions and their matches.

Players take turns and tap any two of the cards to reveal a hidden fractions in an attempt to find a matching pair. One point is earned for every match. The winner is the player with the most points after all the matches have been made.

Fraction Match is part of our Family Time Math Series - a collection of apps designed to encourage families work puzzles and play educational games together and to discuss mathematical topics. Visit our website for more information about Family Time Math.

Practice adding mixed unlike fractions using multi choice. More feature to come in next version. The formula is read to you.

Great way for your anyone to learn how to add unlike Fractions in funny and easy way.

Fractions: The Whole Story is a fun app for those at a young age wanting to learn about fractions. For $0.99 you get flash cards and lessons on fractions. The app will make learning fractions fun for young children.

Yolaroo Fractions is a great teaching tool to help teach or learn both fractions (a/b) and least common multiples LCM(a,b)

Fractions are difficult for students to learn, because there are many steps and rules that must be followed to properly solve a fraction.

This app has six activities that make learning fractions easy and simple.

- This app has an an introduction to equivalent multiples. This makes learning least common multiples easier.

- This app has a LCM Challenge mode that helps the student learn least common multiples. After answering many problems quickly and easily the brain naturally learns how to apply the equation:

lcm (a,b) = |a*b| / gcd(a,b).

After having learned how to easily calculate least common multiples the student can then easily see how to properly solve fractions by properly using least common multiples as needed to make common denominators.

- This app has a 'Fractionator' that shows the equivalence relationship between fractions. This app lets students see the answer for a large number of fraction problems while the brain of the student learns the patterns of mathematics quickly and naturally. With this tool the student can easily see the different rules used for the addition, the subtraction, the multiplication, and the division of fractions. This makes learning math as easy as learning a native language and not as if the student is having to learn something esoteric that remains to be solved.

- This app has a basic fraction game that has students learn the relation between graphical fractions and the numerical
fractions.

- This app has a fractional equivalence game that helps students learn to recognize equivalent fractions.

- This app has a Fraction Challenge mode that tests the student's ability to answer simple and advanced fractions. This helps the student learn how to solve fractions with an infinite workbook and also acts as a test to show that the student can solve fractions.

Everyone needs a good education. This app is 100% free, because learning and education are important for everyone.

Improve your understanding of fractions and practice working with them with this education app.

Math Galaxy Fractions Fun is a comprehensive fractions tutorial with explanations, practice, and games that cover all fraction operations and concepts, including equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, reducing fractions, improper fractions, prime factors, greatest common factor, least common multiple, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, word problems, plus geometry, English and metric measurement, graphs and probability.

By solving problems students earn robots to use in a maze game called the Labyrinth.
Other number games include Bridge the Swamp and The Money Trail.


Math Galaxy's approach to learning math is based on the philosophy that:

(1) New ideas must be connected to a child's current network of knowledge and experience.

(2) Skills develop along a concrete-to-abstract continuum, with advanced skills developed by generalizing from more concrete experiences.

(3) A child must see a wide range of instances of a concept in order to separate out extraneous material from what is essential.

(4) A child needs to be actively engaged with new ideas and not passively entertained.

(5) Ultimately, students will be using calculators, so the goal of elementary math should not be to add or multiply long columns of numbers but to understand the basic concepts behind the operations.

Unlike most math textbooks, which throw a mass of material at the student, Math Galaxy focuses student attention on concepts sequentially and interactively, based upon the ideas behind math manipulatives (such as counting blocks) and connecting new concepts to familiar experiences. Unlike most math software, it goes beyond simple games, low-level operations or rule memorization to link familiar and concrete experiences to higher-level processes. It goes beyond physical math manipulatives by linking each physical operation to its mathematical counterpart at each step, and by allowing manipulations that are difficult to do with physical manipulatives. It stresses concepts that run throughout all of basic math to provide basic understanding rather than memorized rules.

Our goal is to provide students a foundation for analytical thinking in the modern world and for higher-level math and science.

The key to learning math is consistency. It is best taken in small doses but done consistently. Even ten minutes or ten problems a day will improve your child's understanding of math if done consistently.

"As I explored each area of the program, I became more and more impressed with the mathematical challenges it presented."

"Each of the various areas that your child can can work in has several nice functions."
"I do highly recommend Math Galaxy Fractions Fun for those who would like additional resources to supplement their math curriculum, as a tool to present a difficult curriculum in a different way, and as drill practice."
