Hate fractions? That’s ok! Quick Fractions is here to help you master one of the most troublesome areas of mathematics!

Perfect for those just starting out with fractions, more advanced students, or even adults looking for a challenge.

FOUR GAME MODES
- Equivalence: create equivalence with fractions, decimal and percentages.
- Compare: use estimation and fraction knowledge to compare fractions, decimals and percentages.
- Addition and subtraction: use mental arithmetic to add and subtract using proper and improper fractions and mixed numerals.
- Multiplication and division: use mental arithmetic to multiply and divide using proper and improper fractions and mixed numerals.

EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
- Operations games scaffold the process for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, and the new help section gives some handy reminders if you get stuck!
- Practise creating equivalence with and comparing fractions, decimals and percentages, enhancing understanding of how the three relate.
- Handwriting answers means students work out the answer instead of guessing from a range of presented options.
- Track progress in each mode and difficulty level. Keep practicing to improve your score and unlock new avatars.

FOR TEACHERS
- Aligned with international curricula.

Pros and cons of Quick Fractions app for iPhone and iPad

Quick Fractions app good for

Great for elementary aged kids to practice everything related to fractions. Its fun, challenging, and academically a worthwhile purchase.
Time well wasted, refreshing my mathematics whilst in the comfort of my own home.

Some bad moments

As effective as Luminosity but, obviously, only about fractions. I hope that in the future the developers will give the answers to skipped problems and allow users to work out fraction problems instead of just having to skip it if the answer cant be found.
This App does what it advertises & does it well. The learning curve for using the app is very intuitive & the best of its kind as far as ease of use is concern. Which means one can spend more time learning, practicing & sharping ones math skills. Its a great game for maintaining mental acuity or just honing in on ones fraction skills & the in game tutorials take the intimidation of fractions away. So if your looking for an easy app to use that will teach, refresh & make you better at fractions, then hands down every time this it.
educational apps available for teaching fractions, which are notoriously difficult for some kids to master. In an app world where there are tons of (middling) choices, this one is at the very top of my list. Looking forward to this teams next endeavor.
Our kids really enjoy all the apps. So naturally, when high neuroplasticity, meets fun math...be ready to witness real genius in action.
Bought this pack to help my kids with mental math. We play against each other and if the kids beat my best time they make money. Its made us all much faster and is fun to compete. Its a clean, uncluttered ap and serves its purpose well. Handwriting recognition hasnt given us a problem either. Highly recommend.
I only wish it had an option to freeze your work or back page so you can look at your work.
