For parents and teachers

Comparing fractions trips children up because a bigger bottom number means smaller pieces. The levels separate the two ideas, same bottom number and same top number, before mixing them. On the No pictures level, encourage your child to picture the bars or to rewrite both fractions with the same bottom number, which is exactly what the game shows after each answer.
