Amazing
It is the most amazing game ever
Seriously?
I got this app to help me study for my math and BIG suprise it doesn’t work! It freezes ALL THE TIME and I didn’t even get a chance to play since it was freezing up. Don’t get this app and DON’T waste your time like I did getting it!
Disappointed
Confusing and slow
Email function doesn't work
My daughter just got this app today, and I tried to email her score to her teacher, but it keeps failing. I also tried to email the printable sheets to myself and that also failed. Is this a temporary glitch or a bug that needs to be fixed?
Could be better
The best part of this app is the white board where you are able to work out the problem. I am not thrilled about having improper fractions as answers. The standard for most core curriculums is to simplify the fraction to the lowest form. Just sayin'
Mostly good, but...
This app is easy to use and a great way to build skills. There is one flaw, however. Students who come up with equivalent answers but different denominators are told the answer is wrong. For instance, the game tells you -5/4 is not equal to -10/8. Clearly it is, but this was confusing and frustrating to my students who would have gotten this right on an assessment. It is great as an option for practice, but students who value scores for their hard work get frustrated when they are penalized, in my opinion, unfairly. Someone needs to think a little more outside the box.

Definitely challenging
Just because it's a "game" doesn't mean it would be motivating to your average kid. This is not for learning about fractions, it's more for challenging someone with a lot of background knowledge. I can't use it for my average elementary kids, might work for a gifted middle school student.
excellent game
this is an excellent game for young students. It helps to develop math & logic capability to some extent. The game is touch and challenging even to a teacher. At first, ones may think it's quite easy to play as all the pieces are there and they just have to put them to the right place, but they would end up hours with countless number of trial n error attempts. Since there is no certain formula to solve, therefore a proper way to approach the problems is very important. The more my students play it, the more likely they will develop themselves a good strategy to approach and solve it. This kind of game has been proven helpful for maths skill development.

Great app!
Very cool, please add in iPhone 5 support.
Impressive!
This app was extremely enjoyable for me because I enjoy math. I love the problem solving and critical thinking skills that were addressed by having the user figure out the equation while having the answer. I love the Bluetooth capabilities. That was interesting to say the least! I think is is appropriate for middle school age kiddos who need a challenge. If the user struggles with math, this could cause frustration.

Challenging App
This is a fantastic app for 4th grade students and up. It reviews the procedures for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions in the instructions and gives the users challenges. The best part is probably the ability for users to challenge their friends and connect using different devices close by!

Nice Math App!
I love that this app can be played between two players. By allowing students to connect they can group and play together. Another thing that I like about the app is that you can send progress reports. Also, using it with a variety of students you are able to be used with multiple players in order to track progress with different classes throughout the day. I see over eighty students and this app would be helpful for an educator a similar position. I like the white board feature as well. It is wonderful that students get the chance to work out the problems as they would on scrap paper.
Overall, the app does encourage students to use higher-order thinking. I also like that when shaking; kids can shake the ipad to throw the dice. What I love is when using this app with students it promotes that players use problem solving skills for adding, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions.I like how it gives that answer and you must find out what would give you the answer by working with the four dice that you roll.

Great math game
A very good app to help learners practice the four basic functions with fractions. In this unique approach, players use numbers rolled in dice to build an equation to match a provided solution. The Bluetooth feature allows multi-player games in two devices. This amplifies the competition hook that appeals to young students. Based on a great concept, this app promises to solidify learners' grasp of the math concepts they practice.
