IMPORTANT: THIS APP HAS THE SAME LEVELS AS SLICE FRACTIONS, BUT ALSO INCLUDES A SET OF TOOLS FOR TEACHERS.
"The game sets itself apart from other apps because it has broken down the foundational knowledge that students need to understand in order to truly grasp what a fraction is. Teaching those fundamentals without the interference of words, makes this a product that could reach those students who have not understood the concept of fractions in traditional ways." -- Ruth O., Common Sense Education - Graphite

So fun, my daughter and her classmates love it. It teaches fractions in an intuitive way. This helps to build my daughter's confidence.
AMAZING a dream come true for my child

She plays with it everyday she's been playing sense she was 6 years old and nailed every level!!! She's soooooo exited for them to make a free one (not 5.99) She's played both series normal and School Addition. As I said Dream Come True!!!
So much fun - I want to play it!

This would be five stars if it had a multi-student function. Super intuitive for a young child to maneuver without direct supervision. They really are learning fractions too. This is fractions plus physics all wrapped together. Great concept and the children love it!
Great logic game

I'm looking forward to when they add the option to have more than one student sign in to use the game (they mention on their web site that this is a current goal--without that option, it is NOT really worth paying $2 more than the basic version). I tutor elementary math, and this is going to be a popular tool. One thing that adds to the challenge is the way the user has to plan a strategy to get the job done. For some screens, knowing the math is not enough. ? That can be a good thing. The "try again" button is handy when you get stuck...there's no penalty, you just keep working at it until you figure it out.
