goodbye pizza pies, Hello Number lines
Think back to your childhood. You’re in 3rd grade, and you are starting a new unit called fractions. What are the images that come to mind? Pieces of a pie? Pizza? This is not how children learn fractions today.
Leading researchers and mathematics experts promote using the number line (as opposed to parts of a circle) as a better way to teach fractions because number lines and bar representations help students develop a stronger understanding of how fractions relate to whole numbers.
Developed by teachers and learning sciences researchers, Teachley games: Fractions Boost, Fractions Boost 2, and Fractionators help make learning fractions engaging and easier to understand.
Built-in lessons teach and reinforce concepts while rich visual scaffolding support students in developing a strong understanding of fractions. Teachers can even customize games to match their instruction.
Fractions Boost EDU
Build meaning of the numerator and denominator while placing fractions on a number line, comparing and determining equivalence of fractions.
“My students LOVE Fractions Boost; they are super engaged and excited to play”
Educational Games Designed for Thinking
So MUCH more than a worksheet
Teachley Fractions helps students explore the meaning of the numerator and the denominator in engaging 3D game worlds.
STRONG Visual Models To Support Learning
Children who struggle in learning fractions fail to see how fractions relate to whole numbers. That’s why the Teachley games make these connections explicit, helping students understand fractions on the number line.
Backed by research
Research shows 3rd graders who played the Teachley games scored higher than 5th graders who did not play on standardized fractions assessments. Imagine the impact this could have for your students! Learn more here.
Fractions Boost 2 EDU
Extend fractions practice to fractions operations, decimals, and fractions greater than 1.
FRACTIONATORS EDU
Make equivalent fractions and combine fractions to solve dozens of puzzles with like and unlike denominators.
formative Assessment and intervention
Teachers quickly see which students are struggling and have access to lessons for differentiated intervention.
Teachley fractions games are integrated in the Teachley Math Intervention and Fractions Boost Curriculum programs available for schools and districts.
Aligned with Common Core and other state standards
Fractions Boost, Fractions Boost 2, and Fractionators address 3rd - 5th grade Common Core and other state fractions standards, including:
CCSSMATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.C.5
Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100. For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.1
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
