Daily Encouragement.
Math isn't hard the way you think it is. It's about persistence more than brilliance. They're developing the capacity to persevere as much as a specific math skill. That kind of growth requires daily support and encouragement.
Fluency and Fractions are the Critical Foundations of algebra, but most students never master them.
We’ve spent 25 years figuring out why — and built the only program that fixes both.
The most important thing you can do is set a clear schedule.
Carve out a specific time. 10 - 20 mins/day is ideal. At that pace, most students will finish in 1 to 4 months. These charts show how many total hours of usage it takes for different levels of students to finish.
This graph shows how how long it takes students to master all 440 addition and subtraction facts, nationwide. The faster 20% of students (blue) finish in 3 or 4 hours, while the most deeply struggling 20% (various shades of red) can take over 20 hours.
This graph shows how long it takes all students, nationwide, to master all of multiplication and division. This will hopefully help you estimate how much time to budget for your student.
Cheer like it's a Championship! They really need it.
Celebrate the Right Things
You SCHEDULE time, but that's not what you celebrate. You celebrate EFFORT and GROWTH.
We would literally rather have one minute of a student's best mental effort than 20 mins of casual gaming.

The Fast Track to Genuine Fluency? Deep Understanding.
Memorizing without understanding is both unhelpful and nearly impossible.
Focusing on understanding is the faster, best way to achieve fluency.
Concrete
Concrete, interactive models can quickly develop conceptual understanding.
Confident
Understanding in the short-term isn't enough. We need to ensure students get enough practice and reinforcement to become conceptually CONFIDENT.
Flexible
Students also need diverse, repeated exposure to the many ways numbers interact — so their understanding is both complete and flexible enough to handle any situation.
Abstract
We can't leave students with just the models. We must ensure they make a clean, confident connection from the models to the numbers themselves.
Strategies exponentially multiply
how many facts students “know.”
Especially Fact Families.
Strategies
Once students know the Foundational facts (2s, 10s and 5s) they can use strategies to derive all the rest — building deep number sense and confidence.
Fact Families
Fact Families are by far the most valuable “strategy,” but learning it well enough to USE it is rare. For example, students learn 5+2 pretty easily, but 7-5 often seems like a totally different and much harder fact.
Practice until it's easy
It's not “Drill-and-Kill”
Understanding and Strategies are critical, but don't stop there. Just like you have to become automatic with foundational facts to derive the rest, becoming automatic with ALL the core facts helps students tackle the rest of ALL mathematics. You're not memorizing though, so much as becoming confident and familiar enough with conceptual understanding that it becomes effortless.
“Now I don't have to spend my whole year re-teaching prerequisite skills.”
Heather Wrigley, 4th-grade teacher
Reduce the Cognitive Load
When basic calculations become automatic, students are free to focus on critical thinking and problem solving. You're not trying to become a robot that regurgitates facts like a calculator. You're trying to become a confident, persevering thinker who understands and has become fluent enough with the basics that they're free to focus on all the higher math.

High-End Gameplay Drives High-End Engagement
The “casual gameplay” that most educational products use works well for casual learning. But for immersive learning, you want the kind of immersive gameplay that AAA games leverage to keep grown adults playing nonstop for dozens, even hundreds of hours.
Now, our gameplay isn't AAA quality—yet. But that's where we're headed. We want to be able to give students the same caliber of engagement currently reserved just for blockbuster entertainment.
And yes, truly effective teaching CAN be deeply engaging all on its own. But our mission is to bring students the best of both worlds — high-end curriculum, paired with high-end gameplay.

The Most Important Foundational Skill
Early fraction knowledge is THE strongest predictor of long-term algebra knowledge and overall mathematics achievement. Yet students still struggle universally with them.
That is why the National Mathematics Advisory Panel determined that fractions are “the most important foundational skill not presently developed.”
That's why we built the most powerful fraction learning tool available.
“27% of eighth-graders could not correctly shade 1/3 of a rectangle.”
— U.S. Department of Education, 2004
— National Mathematics Advisory Panel, Final Report, 2008
See It. Touch It. Understand It.
No matter how good the instruction, students need ample time and repetition with strategic, effective modeling to truly grasp fractions.
Our program provides dozens of interactive, visual models that make abstract fraction concepts concrete and intuitive. Students don't just learn procedures — they develop genuine understanding that sticks.
Measure What Matters
Fraction mastery requires sustained effort across many concepts and standards. Our program tracks individual effort and progress through each standard, giving teachers clear visibility into who is working and who needs support.

Fractions Worth Playing
Our Fractions curriculum is already fully gamified with stunning 3D gameplay. Students explore rich, immersive environments while mastering critical fraction concepts.
In our first randomized study with a control group, students who played for just two hours improved 9% more than the control group on an external assessment — 16% when removing outliers and students already above 90%.
Run a pilot with your own class so you can make a data-driven decision based on your own student results.
“It's so fun to teach a class that's all caught up in fractions.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take students to finish?
See the graphs under Scheduling, because it varies tremendously by students. But at 15–20 mins/day, 95% will finish in 1 to 4 months. Our reports make it easy to track progress, so you’ll know within an hour or two roughly how long it will take them (if they keep working hard).
What grades and age levels is this for?
The Fluency (Facts) program is most-often used for grades 1–6, but nearly all older students would still benefit from it greatly. The Fractions curriculum is supposed to be learned in grades 3–5, but older students still need it tremendously, since most students never master more than about half of even the 3rd-grade foundational standards.
Do I need special hardware or software?
No. The program runs on any decently modern device. If it’s a laptop, desktop, Chromebook or Mac, use any modern web browser, although we recommend Chrome. The better the machine, the better the performance and experience.
On mobile, download the Facts & Fracts App from either the App Store or Google Play. Again, the better the device, the better the performance and experience. So a modern iPad would be better than a phone. But a new phone could be better than an old tablet.
How is this different from other math fact programs?
Most programs focus on memorizing. This works for advanced students, but leaves the rest struggling. Some focus on conceptual understanding, but don’t tackle automaticity. This is the only program we know of that does both. The high-end gameplay is also unique. The effort tracking/reporting is very rare and extremely helpful. But what truly sets it apart are all the little things, the decades of refining a thousand little details, improving every tiny step along the way to make it all as effective and engaging as possible.
Can I try it before purchasing?
Absolutely. We offer a free demo so you can see the program in action with your own students. Make an account here.
What kind of training and support do you provide?
We provide Quick Start videos (see above), or we love to provide live training for schools whenever we can arrange it. Email is the best way to reach us for most questions, but we also offer direct phone support (888.338.3244).
