4 Dice Helps Students Learn to Add, Subtract, Multiply, and
Divide Fractions 4 Dice is an iPad app designed to help students
learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. The app
was developed by the same people that built the popular 5 Dice
app that helps students learn the order of operations. In 4 Dice
students are shown a fraction and they have to drag four dice
into position to complete the arithmetic that will result in the
fraction that they were shown. It’s kind of like the Jeopardy
concept applied to fractions mathematics. There are five modes
in 4 Dice. There are the addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division modes as well as a challenge mode that randomized
the problems. At any point in a series of problems students can
pause and use the whiteboard to work out possible solutions to a
problem. 4 Dice does ask for an email address, but doesn’t ask
users to confirm that email address. If your students don’t have
email addresses you can use the Gmail+1 trick to create dummy
addresses
