Hard pass
Iām an educator and I am looking for an app to help introduce fractions. This is not the one. It just jumps right into assuming the student knows how to make 1/4 from 8 slices of cake or 1/2 from 4 slices. The user interface is super confusing as well. I feel like this app would frustrate any kid who was already struggling to understand fractions.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear how frustrating you found the app. We're committed to improving where we can so we'll take your comments on board and look to introduce a beginner level that works with just halves and quarters. If you can e-mail us on info@keystagefun.co.uk with any specific feedback about what you found confusing about the user interface that would be really helpful. Thanks. Ian, KeyStageFun.
Love the squeebles apps
I am a primary school teacher and I love all the Squeebles apps . I actually say the fractions one is my least favourite and harder to use but still worth a purchase . All the others are fantastic and clearly well thought out by someone in education rather than a random app developer.
This game is amazing
Awesome game
Changes to "easy setting"
My daughters are just learning the basics of fractions. Would love to see the easy section just have only "simplified fractions". i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1/3, 2/3, 3/8 etc. otherwise this is a great app I would gladly change my rating to 5 stars if this feature were added.
Learn with squeebles
Really good. Tried it and it helped me learn fractions. I think it's worth spending Ā£1.00 on it.
Not well thought out
It's just okay. It doesn't actually teach anything but just throws problems at kids. It assumes you already know fractions, a silly idea. Also the timer is annoying and can't be shut off, so it times out while your trying to explain a concept to your child. Not great. Does anyone actually test these things?

Great For Basic Concepts....
A wonderfully effective method of demonstrating the concept of fractions.
So far so good
Tried this app out before my kids, so their's will be the true test. But it seems tricky enough to be challenging, but not too hard either. I did think the instructions on the piece of cake game could be better. It should tell you to tap as many slices as the squeeble needs before attempting to feed the squeeble. I kept placing piece after piece on their plate and being told I was wrong, before I figured out you have to click each slice while still on the serving plate and then feed the whole section to the squeeble.

I like it!
I like this app and think kids will find this an enjoyable way to practice fractions. It seems a little youngish,but I'm going to try it with some of my 5 th grade boys at school and see what they think.
Fantastic App
This is another fantastic maths app from the squeebles family.
There are four different fun fractions based games, with different levels of difficulty to help your children practice their fractions. As with the other squeebles apps, the children get rewards for completing their fractions - this time based around winning ingredients, fillings and toppings to make cakes for entry into the squeebles' cake contest.
It is this fun reward element which makes the app so great. My children are very happy to practice their fractions; as well as making the process itself fun with the game based approach, the children love making the cakes afterwards - the more disgusting the better in their eyes!
