74/100

Fraction War is an excellent educational tool that takes the classic 'War' card game and turns it into a math lesson. As a parent, I love how it visualizes fractions, making it easier for kids to understand why 3/4 is larger than 2/3. It’s simple, effective, and keeps the competitive spirit of the original game.

While the interface is a bit dated, the logic is sound and follows the RightStart Math curriculum approach. It’s a great way to squeeze in some extra practice during car rides or waiting rooms without it feeling like 'homework.'

This war game helps players compare fractions while having fun! The beginner game uses halves, fourths, and eighths. The easy level includes thirds and sixths, the medium game adds in fifths and tenths, and the hardest game has percents along with all the fractions.
The object of the game is to win all the cards from “Dr. Cotter”, the developer of this favorite game from the RightStart Math program. Tap on your deck to start the game, then tap on the greater value card and that player takes the cards. If the two cards are the same, it’s a war!
If a wrong card is chosen, the linear fraction chart will pulse, indicating there is an error. The fraction chart may be enlarged to help with comparing the values.
The winner is the player with all the cards at the end of the game. This game will provide hours of fun fraction practice.
