Fractions face-off reviewed

In 2015 the What Works Clearinghouse released a review confirming the findings of a study of the Fractions Face-Off! Programme. The review found that students who were severely at risk for low mathematics achievement made significant gains using two versions of Fractions Face-Off! as compared to a set of their peers who did not receive the intervention.

Fractions Face-Off! is designed to help fourth-grade (Year 5) children at risk for mathematics difficulties to learn fractions and decimals concepts. The review considered two versions of Fractions Face-Off! – one targeted student fluency in measurement topics (such as comparing and ordering fractions) and the other targeted conceptual understanding of those topics.
