How we teach it
This is what sits under the answer sheets in the app — the same cards, clips and lessons your child sees after a question.
The concept card
One picture that says the whole idea. Every answer sheet on this topic points back to its card.
Try the interactive lesson: Mixed numerals — build it with cubes
Add cubes to a tray: a full row is one whole, the cubes left over are the fraction. Build one and two tenths, seven quarters, two and a quarter — and see why 7/4 is 1 3/4.
A narrated clip
Short, spoken, and about one question. Press play — it uses your device's own voice.
