Fraction Factory App

My students are learning to identify fractions this week.  Today I had them use the Fraction Factory app after we reviewed fractions being part of a whole.  While playing for about 10 minutes, they were to find 5 fractions that they could remember.  I then had them write those five fractions and draw a picture to show the fraction as part of the whole.  We have not yet discussed the relationship between decimals and fractions so as the saw those decimals pop up near the top of the screen, they were surprised and began to see a relationship.  The extension lesson from the game connected what we have been learning about fractions to the number line concept.  The students loved it and seem to see more relevance in the app other than just trying to beat the clock.
