Through the ranks students will learn and master “equivalent fractions,” “reducing or simplifying fractions,” and determining “fractional parts of a whole number.” The game play is specifically designed to help students understand number patterns found in fractions. Understanding the patterns leads to student’s higher order understanding of fractions and the four basic arithmetic functions – add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Developed by martial artists and educators, MartialMath challenges the learner to employ a myriad of problem solving skills to solve the problem. Playing MartialMath is a great way for learners to learn, practice, and master their understanding of fractions.
MartialMath is Common Core embedded and calls into use multiple common core standards in a true problem solving manner. Ideal for helping students discover the relationships between the various mathematical functions.
MartialMath supports the eight mathematical practices:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision
7. Look for and make use of structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

The program WAS great until it stopped recording my son's progress (not displaying achievements such as correctly answered questions on the katana sword). Once my son reached the black belt level the program began experiencing glitches (shutting off, switching between games while not recording progress, etc...). I had hoped to be able to recommend this program to friends, however due to the recent problems I will not. I will happily update this review to reflect a more favorable rating, once the developers solve the issues mentioned above.
