CandyFactory Educational Game

CandyFactory is an educational game that teaches the concept of fractions to middle school students based on splitting operations with partitioning and iterating. It consists of three levels: Level 1 teaches proper fractions as part-whole concept. Level 2 teaches proper fractions as whole concept. Level 3 teaches proper as well as improper fractions as whole concept. A nominal score is displayed at the end of the game to show how well the student has done. Sound-based feedback and background music are provided.

Five bars does not equal six bars. Test your app. It seems fun if you had the right info.

different than most math apps

I like that the game helps students understand fractions, not just drill and practice.

pedagogically sound app
Kees314

This app is pedagogically sound as it constrains the user to first deal with the meaning of denominator (partitioning). The app also helps students to see the fraction as a measure (measure icon). This is often missing in the learning of fractions.

Needed a designer

My guess is that they didn't have a game designer or artist on this project. Try the app "Slice Fractions" to see what a difference these disciplines make.
