How does Frax make math more engaging for students?
Frax is mission-based and story-driven to engage and motivate students as they learn fractions.
Adaptive Learning
Frax uses the latest research and instructional methods to create a better way to learn fractions. Adaptive technology responds to individual student performance to provide the right amount of support and challenge on their fractions journey.
Game-Based Environment
With Frax, learning feels like a game thanks to interactive challenges in an out-of-this-world galaxy setting. Each Frax mission features space-themed activities, fun characters, music, and enticing visuals that help students build a strong conceptual understanding of fractions.
Rewards and Customization
Along their Frax journey, students stay motivated with frequent rewards for effort and progress. After playing games and unlocking achievements, Frax users earn tokens they can spend in the store to customize their spaceship quarters. Students can gain additional practice and unlock more tokens in the game-packed Review Room.
How can Frax engage students online and offline?
With Frax, teachers and students can celebrate fractions milestones with digital and paper-based resources.
Student engagement ideas:
- Encourage students to complete three Frax missions a week.
- Use Frax offline resources to reinforce and assess learning. Captain's Checkpoints provide additional practice with skills from Frax missions. These collaborative activities allow students to talk about fractions, reflect on how their thinking is similar or different from others, and discover new strategies from their peers. Frax Quick Checks provide short questions to assess student learning from a Frax mission (perfect for task cards or an exit ticket).
- Show students how fractions relate to the real world.
- Create a Frax bulletin board.
- Reward student milestones in Frax using stickers, certificates, student Star Passports, self-monitoring sheets, or a classroom party. Find these resources and more in the Frax Educator Resource Hub.
