Frax helps all students understand fractions.
ExploreLearning Frax uses the latest research-based instructional methods to create a more effective, more engaging way for students to learn fractions. Fun challenges, personalized instruction, and motivating rewards help all students build mastery—all while exploring the galaxy with fractions!
What's so great about Frax?
Break through the barriers to learning fractions.
The research is clear. Without the ability to understand, represent, and reason about the size of fractions, students cannot make sense of fraction arithmetic and will always struggle to interpret or apply them in the real world. Frax solves this most fundamental problem, unblocking the path to student confidence and success.
Build deep conceptional understanding.
Students work extensively with length models and number lines to interpret, represent, compare, order, and estimate fractions. With this critical grounding, students can move beyond memorized procedures and tricks and come to make sense of fractions and their operations.
Trade struggle for success.
Game-based, story-driven, and standards aligned, the adaptive system meets students where they are and unlocks new games, challenges, and rewards for their efforts. Fun challenges and frequent rewards keep students coming back, while real-time monitoring helps teachers immediately identify students who need help.
Take a journey into fractions with Frax.
Story-driven Missions
Students take on missions throughout the galaxy, exploring new worlds as they hone their fractions knowledge. Each mission (with 3-4 standards-based activities) takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Fun, Challenging Games
Each mission features fun games that challenge students to perform a variety of tasks that build their fractions skills and understanding. Supported by brief, just-in-time instruction, they learn largely by doing.
Rewards for Effort and Progress
As students complete activities and missions, they earn tokens to spend on customizing their ship’s quarters. As they progress, they also unlock trophies that celebrate the completion of a successful mission.
Classroom-ready Support
Frax ensures all students succeed. With offline activities, mission reviews, and real-time reporting, educators can quickly discover when students are struggling and how to help. Plus, our support includes trainers and learning communities that foster best teaching practices.
Everybody's Talking About Frax
“My students love playing Frax! Teaching them fractions have never been easier. I feel like so many of the common misconceptions are corrected, and we have barely started whole group fraction instruction.”
- Frax Teacher, Gilmer County School District, GA“My students really love the Frax game play and don't even realize that they are doing fractions. They just feel like they are helping solve problems. I also love that I can see what they are doing as they do it and see who is struggling so I can go help them as they work.”
- Frax Teacher, Gilbert Unified School District 41, AZ“The kids are loving Frax. They are excited to use it and I can see a huge difference in their ability to understand, visualize and model fractions in their math activities. I love when I am teaching a fraction lesson and the students say, ‘I saw this in Frax’ or ‘I know this because of Frax.’”
- Frax Teacher, Hartland Consolidated School District, MI“Students really enjoy how engaging Frax is. Surprising moment: we started our fractions unit and most of my students already know fraction vocabulary. How awesome!”
- Frax Teacher, Baldwin Union Free School District, NY“Frax has helped students tremendously in their math classes. Those who have completed all the missions are having success easily mastering 4th grade fraction standards which make up 1/2 of our state math assessment test.”
- Frax Teacher, Henry County School District, TN“My students LOVE Frax! They now regularly say things like ‘Well I know that 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2...’ or ‘I know that 3/6 = 1/2...’, which were not things they were saying before working on Frax. The improvement in their fraction fluency has been noticeable.”
- Frax Teacher, Governor Wentworth Regional School District, NH“I have been able to compare my students beginning of the year test data to the middle of the year test data and have seen a dramatic increase in their fraction understanding with Frax—and I haven't even begun to teach fractions yet.”
