4. How many missions are there in Frax?
In Frax, students work through Sectors 1 and 2 to build conceptual fractions skills as they progress through carefully scaffolded instruction. In Sector 1, students venture through 27 missions as they develop a strong conceptual understanding of fractions as numbers. After completing Sector 1, learners unlock 30 new missions in Sector 2. Since students develop foundational skills with each Frax mission, Sectors 1 and 2 are completed sequentially for fractions success.
5. What makes Frax stand out from other game-based fractions solutions?
Frax stands out with its evidence-based, engaging, and game-based approach. It's highly effective for on-grade level instruction or remediation, helping all students, including those who struggle, to build a strong understanding of fractions.

6. How does Frax help students with learning fractions?
Frax helps students understand fractions as numbers. Through extensive use of length models and number lines, students learn by doing as they interpret, represent, compare, order, estimate fractions, and more via adaptive, game-based missions that effectively build mastery (and confidence). Use Frax before your fractions unit to accelerate student learning!
7. Why do fractions matter?
Understanding fractions is crucial because fractions form the foundation for more advanced math concepts and real-world applications, from algebra to everyday problem-solving.
8. How do Reflex and Frax work together? What's the best order for implementing them?
Reflex and Frax work together by targeting different math skills at key stages of learning. Reflex is used, typically in grades 2-6, to build math fact fluency with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Frax is used, usually in grades 3-5, to help students develop a strong understanding of fractions.
Simultaneous heavy usage of both is not recommended. The most impactful results come from fidelity usage dedicated to each product at the proper time. Grade 3+ teachers should devote any available time (before or after completing the recommended Frax work) to Reflex until students have reached a high level of fluency. For the best results, teachers should prioritize Frax before starting a fractions unit to accelerate student learning. For more details, read the full guide on when to use Reflex and Frax.
9. What professional development for educators does Frax include?
Site and district licenses include live, instructor-led online webinars and on-demand self-paced videos that help educators implement Frax easily and effectively. Our professional development offerings include introductory and advanced courses for teachers and administrators.
