Reactions:
Fraction Fireworks was our favorite activity - it really helps kids to see problems
presented in concrete, tangible ways. As kids advance through the work, the Grow
Slides advance, offering more sophisticated challenges. Parents may set the difficulty
level or choose a mathematical concept for kids to work on. It's really nice to
see a title so configurable to the individual child's needs.
