FractionsPractice generates numerous fraction problems to enhance student practice.
The program covers the teaching and learning of fractions in three levels: Basic, Easy, and Advanced. The Basic level covers topics such as equivalent fractions, reducing fractions to their lowest terms, and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. The Easy level includes topics like addition and subtraction of fractions, multiplication and division of fractions, and miscellaneous types of sums. The Average level is similar to the Easy level, but also includes negative numbers. The Advanced level includes all the same topics as the Average level, but with the addition of decimals.
One of the great features of FractionsPractice is the more than 60 worked examples that provide help for students who have difficulty with the sums. This software also allows you to print out a report at the end of each practice session. The report shows each sum with its correct answer and the student's answer marked, as well as the percentage score, the average time taken to do each sum, and other details.
Fractions are presented in easy-to-read textbook style, both on screen and in the printout on paper. Answers are entered easily without the use of complicated steps or codes. The software is designed for students in Secondary One or Year 7 (age 12 years) and above, but may be suitable for Primary 6 (Year 6) and other levels.
Requirements for this software include a PowerPC Macintosh (including G3, G4 & G5), 5.5MB HD space, 26MB RAM, and screen resolution of 800 x 600 at 16 bits or better. Give FractionsPractice a try to help improve your understanding and skills with fractions.
