For many students, fractions is where the failure in math begins. Children often have problems with fraction concepts and mechanics. Jamit Fraction is a unique software that can make a difference. It is suitable for students who have just started learning fractions and for students who are already familiar with basic concepts, but need more practice and challenge.
Jamit Fractions is not just a few practice drills or a big fancy game with few simply questions. This is a whole learning environment, which ensures a good understanding of each topic and mastering it to perfection.
The topics are presented in 10 short lessons. This shareware version contains only the first 2 lessons:
Each lesson contains a complete reference, written in a simple and clear language. The use of HTML allowed for cross linking of terms, definitions and examples (for example, if a student does not remember what the denominator is, he can easily click on the word, read the definition and come back).
Each lesson has its own, completely different practice game. The game generates fraction problems to be solved. The student has all the help at hand. He can access corresponding references and examples without leaving the game, he can ask just for a little hint or request a solution with a full explanation. It is just a click of a button, and the rewarding system encourages independent thinking.
HINT pops up a little hint which helps to understand the
problem and encourages thinking.
HELP displays the manual information, as which key to press etc.
LESSON displays a corresponding references in a
new window (it is a good idea to close the window when finished reading)
SOLVE shows the solution
WHY (this button shows after SOLVE is pressed) displays a window with a
detailed, step by step explained solution
EXAMPLE opens a new reference window with the corresponding
example (again, it is good to close it)
NEXT presents the next problem. It needs to be pressed only if the
student cannot solve the problem himself If the student gives a correct solution, the next
problem is generated automatically. There is always a penalty for pressing this button,
but the penalty is small if the student pressed the SOLVE and WHY buttons before. This way
the student learns on his own errors.
Each game has 4 difficulty levels, from very easy to hard. The easiest level is
illustrated for better visual understanding.
The best way to use Jamit fraction is to start with the first chapter, read the first lesson references and try to solve examples yourself, later moving on to the practice game. When the first chapter is completely mastered, the next chapter should be mastered the same way. This is the proper, systematic approach in which one should always learn math.
The other good idea is to start with a test and then to concentrate on the topics which need improvement. This is particularly useful for students who already know some fractions.
