“One particular student was having a really hard time understanding that 1/6 would be a much smaller piece than 1/3. All of their learning up to this point says that if the number is larger it is greater. Once he was able to see the visual representation on frax he was able to understand that one third is actually a larger piece because their fewer pieces making up the whole, and as he put it, you would be sharing your pizza with only three people instead of six so your piece would be bigger.”
- Teacher, William L Callahan Elem School
“One student has completed in mission in record time. She did it at home on the weekends and during the school day. She understands fractions so much and can easily teach others the concepts she has learned.”
- Teacher, Red Bridge Elementary School
“One student said that Frax was so engaging he just loved it. The fact that he got second chances when trying to solve a problem was great. I can see that students enjoy working for their tokens and being able to buy items for their rooms. Because they worked for their reward, they don’t realize they were really working on the skills that were necessary to learn fractions.”
- Teacher, Sevier County School District
“One student who is pretty high in math and told me that she finally understands fractions!”
- Teacher, North Elementary School
“Our first year with Reflex and Frax was a huge success. The teachers that embraced the new programs quickly observed success and growth with all their students. Students enjoyed the game-based learning and differentiated approach.”
- Teacher, Hauppauge School District
“Over the last few months my students have been using Frax and we've seen an incredible increase in their ability to vocalize their thinking, share strategies, and offer positive feedback to each other. The offline Captain's Checkpoints have been a hit and students are always looking forward to the next one!”
- Teacher
“Overall, students have been very engaged in the program. They are competitive about who is finishing the missions first and who has the most tokens. I have seen some really great reactions from students who usually don't get excited about a computer-based program.”
- Teacher, Highland Elementary School
“Reflex and Frax are part of our morning routines. Students log in and start their math programs daily. Many log in over the weekend. As a 4-day school, we have to pack more academics into our week. Reflex and Frax are changing how proficient our students are in math.”
- Teacher, Horizon Academy West
“Reflex and Frax are transformative tools for our educators to leverage to meet the needs of students of all levels.”
- K-12 Director of Mathematics and Instructional Technology, Hauppauge School District
“So many of my students have mentioned something they saw on Reflex in other areas of math and get excited that they know it because of Reflex. The first thing I hear from them is "I love this game!" or "I got my green light, Mrs. Vaughn!" and it's always with such excitement.”
- Teacher, Norman Public Schools
