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: Equivalent fractions — cut it again!
Cut every piece of a pizza or a bar in two, count the pieces and the shaded ones, and see that the amount never changes: one half is two quarters is four eighths. Three journeys, and the boy asks along the way.
A narrated clip
Short, spoken, and about one question. Press play — it uses your device's own voice.
One question, as your child sees it
And the answer sheet that follows a second wrong try: what we know, what we need, the steps, a check, the answer.
Your child types the answer on a number pad.

The answer sheet
