Educational Use
๐ Classroom Tool: This was originally created as a math game for third graders in Brazil. Teachers were able to teach concepts of fractions and then give them a quiz game with 50 questions to get as much practice in as possible. Families are also encouraged to try as many questions as they can get through, but it is not required to do all 50 questions. The goal of the main game is for students to practice as much as they want to, while the tutorial gives a brief introduction to the concepts of fractions.
