They’ll definitely understand rates and ratios by the time they learn about them in school! ### 4/5 — Good but...... *2011-08-03* Its a great app and a fun way to learn but there are only 5 videos. If there were more it would be five stars. ## Frequently asked questions about Math Snacks Video ### What math topics does Math Snacks Video cover?
