The game play is kind of like blackjack. The only real choice is to go over or not. I must say that sometimes it is hard to tell who really won because it is so colse. The lowest common denomonator is 64 or the like to get a offical answer. Overall the game is fun and it makes fractions fun.

What a fun game!! This is one of the cleverest ways I have ever seen for teaching the concepts of fractions. As the students play they talk about equivalent fractions, adding fractions, even reducing and comparing them.

I have always been a fan of games in the classroom. They provide an excellent way to develop the understanding of concepts through inquiry... provided of course the games are unique, engaging, and mathematically sound in process and content. Fraction Formula definitely meets these three criteria.

The parts are big and bold, not easily lost, and are very dimensional, which is a huge asset when it comes to teaching. The instructions are easy to read and figure out, enough so that a group of children could grab the game and go. The playing of the game moves along fast enough to not bore children, but smooth enough to promote thoughtful interaction.

From a classroom perspective this a good game to have on the shelf.

This is a fast-paced, educational game that is played much like the card game "21." Players take turns picking cards in an attempt to fill their cylinder as close to "1" as possible without going over. Fits with Montessori type activities.

Rules and scoring can be modified for different ages and abilities.

Pieces seem quite durable and easy to clean.

Color of pieces match the color of the corresponding fraction card.

Fast paced and can choose to play one or many rounds.

My six year old son even enjoyed playing with the game pieces on his own!

Drawbacks:

If you have pets you should know that the pieces attract pet hair!

Is not a complicated game and can become monotonous to some.
