Welcome to the xo-fractions-game wiki!

Fractionauts is a game designed for the XOPC that can be used to supplement the teaching of fraction operations. The objective of Fratctionauts is to help students understand the concept of fractions by visually teaching what a fraction actually represents. The game is designed with the NY 4th grade math curriculum in mind, making it ideal for kids near or in 4th grade.

Players are required to solve mathematical problems, where they are given a goal amount in fraction form and must combine other fractional amounts to achieve this goal amount (ex. combine 1/4 and 1/2 to achieve the goal amount of 3/4). When a question is answered correctly, the user moves on to a new question, where each successive question increases in difficulty.

Fractionauts was originally designed by students of the Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software class at RIT, the instructor of which is Remy DeCausemaker. We welcome any and all constructive contributions to the game, and hope that others will find as much interest in contributing to the game as we have.
