## MathTappers Description
MathTappers: Fraction Estimation is designed to help learners to build their intuitive understanding of fractions by helping them to relate fractions (both symbols and pictures) to the nearest half (e.g., 0, 1/2 1, 1 1/2, 2, etc.) and then to extend their understanding by challenging them to use fraction estimates in addition and subtraction problems. Learners should be able to master the challenges in this app before moving on to formal operations with fractions. We recommend that this app be used in conjunction with classroom or tutoring activities to support consolidation, mastery and fluency through a series of manageable challenges.

The purpose of this app is to support learners as they are developing their understanding of fractions, fraction symbols and fraction operations by emphasizing sense-making through estimation and the use of visual models. Evidence suggests that if learners are taught formulas and procedures before they develop understanding, then they may not be motivated to spend the effort needed to make sense of what they are doing. We want to support sense-making before procedural mastery.

This app is not intended to be mastered in one shot – rather levels should be assigned judiciously to support classroom learning activities. After introducing each fraction idea (fraction estimation, and estimation of sums and differences) in a classroom presentation, explanation or discussion this app may be used in small group and individual activities to support exploration, sense-making, consolidation and remediation.

Design: Tim Pelton & Leslee Francis Pelton
Programming: Mike Anderson, Joshua E. Smith & Garrett Reimer

## MathTappers Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great app!!!!!"
I love this app it's easy to understand and it helps me a lot!
-- Tcl123, 2010-10-22

### ***** "Great app"
With the help of this app it is easy to learn how to estimate fractions. In the process students create a deeper understanding for fractions. The app is full of very nice details; like the visual hint that only appears when you appear to think too long.
-- Math Parent, 2010-07-27

### ***** "Excellent "
MathTappers applications are exactly what they say they are .  They are tasks that build conceptual understanding and number sense.  I am eagerly awaiting the release of the expanded versions.  I can't get these into students' hands fast enough.

Most apps are facts drills or games.  MathTappers are thinking and constructivist experiences.

More, please.  Whole number and decimal numeracy!!!
