Teachley Fractions Boost 1.21

Teachley Fractions Boost is a 3D racing game designed to enhance the conceptual understanding of fractions for children in grades 3 to 5. The interactive environment allows students to navigate through a futuristic world while engaging with number line checkpoints and fraction tunnels.

The game, which has been developed with input from educators, incorporates comprehensive lessons and effective scaffolding techniques aimed at strengthening students' grasp of fractions. It addresses all relevant 3rd-grade fraction standards, including the comparison and equivalence of fractions.

As one educator notes, "Teaching number sense is really difficult for elementary school students. Teaching fraction number sense can be even harder. My students frequently would 'sneak' playing Fractions Boost, and I would pretend not to notice that they were playing extra rounds." - Nick, 4th grade teacher, VT.

Another teacher commented, "Fractions are often such a difficult concept to teach. I'm so thankful that Teachley has made a game that is equally engaging as it is entertaining!” - Heather Holinger, 4th grade teacher, ME.

Fractions Boost aligns with essential 3rd-grade fraction standards such as:

• 3.NF.A.1
• 3.NF.A.2a
• 3.NF.A.2b - Represent a fraction a/b on a number line by marking off lengths 1/b from 0 and recognizing the resulting interval as the size a/b.
• 3.NF.A.3a - Understand two fractions as equivalent if they occupy the same position on a number line.
• 3.NF.A.3b - Compare fractions with the same numerator or denominator by evaluating their relative sizes.
• 3.NF.A.3c
• 3.NF.A.3d

The program also aligns with TEKS standards: 2.3.A-B, 3.3.A-C, and 3.3F-H.
