App Description

bettermarks has reinvented math lessons just for you!

At bettermarks, we think that mistakes are awesome. That's because you can only learn new stuff by daring to make mistakes! You won't simply be told you're RIGHT or WRONG with bettermarks. Here, you learn step by step until you are able to solve even the difficult problems. Take a look at how it works:

- Every exercise contains hints, tips, and fully worked examples for every step. They are right there in the exercises as you work, so you can practice your math anywhere at any time, just with your iPad.
- If you get an answer wrong, bettermarks shows you detailed solution methods, explanations and other help so you can find out exactly what was wrong, and how to do it right next time!
- We don't like boring multiple choice! Instead, we provide you with a whole load of different interactive tools for varied and interesting exercises.
- Of course, there are rewards too for successful work! For each exercise series that you solve, you earn coins and stars. Why not work out a deal with your parents, so that you get a treat when you earn enough coins?

In this app, you will find everything that you need for "Basics of Fractions". Here's what you will learn:

- understand the terms proper and improper fractions and mixed numbers
- expand, simplify and compare fractions
- represent fractions on the number line
- represent fractions as percentages

And when you have done all of that, you can get started on the next topic.
