What is Frax?
Grades 3+
ExploreLearning Frax stops the fractions struggle through an adaptive, game-based system that helps students build a strong understanding of fractions for ongoing success in higher mathematics. Rather than skimming a multitude of math skills on the surface, Frax is 100% focused on fractions, allowing students to benefit from the most focused and purposeful instruction.
- Foundational instruction: Students work extensively with length models and number lines to understand fractions as numbers first.
- Research-based success: Across all achievement levels, students who use Frax meet or exceed growth benchmarks at significantly higher rates.
- Engaging and effective: Each Frax mission features game-based challenges that build understanding while motivating students with rewards for effort and progress.
- Classroom support: With Frax offline activities, comprehensive support materials, and real-time reporting, educators can quickly discover when students are struggling and how to help.
The Frax pilot program
With a pilot, your staff and students can experience the power of Frax for an extended period! Your building can leverage guided implementation for multiple teachers to make a thorough and effective product evaluation.
Pilot details:
- Allows two or more classrooms of students to use Frax for 30+ days (grades 3+)
- Provides free training and implementation support for teachers
- Enables administrators to review student results during the pilot period
Frax brings adaptive and research-based success
Frax uses research-proven methods and innovative technology to provide the most effective fractions solution available. Research shows that Frax gives all students the ability to master fractions, increasing their math performance, building their self-confidence, and laying the foundation for ongoing success in math.

Small start, big impact: How pilots deliver measurable impact
During a six-month pilot implementation, 100% of students met or exceeded fractions proficiency after using Frax. Students who used Frax, on average, exceeded ambitious individual growth targets by reaching 102% of their goals, while students who did not use Frax achieved only 71% of their growth target, highlighting the program's effectiveness in boosting performance.
Similarly, when a large, suburban school district implemented Frax and Reflex, students were significantly more likely to reach grade-level proficiency and catch up to their peers after only a few months.
