Fraction Isles: Help and Support

Fraction Isles is a fractions game for children aged 8 to 11 on iPad. A crew of sailors shares planks fairly, builds bridges from fraction pieces and finds crabs on a number line. There are no timers, no lives and no way to fail.

The For grown-ups panel

Tap For grown-ups at the top of the screen and answer the multiplication question. The panel shows your child's island log (each island, slips, experiments, the captain's questions and time spent), lets you send or copy it as a CSV file, jump to any island, and restart the whole voyage.

A more natural voice for the captain

Every line in the game is read aloud by the iPad's own voice. iPads come with a basic voice; a premium one sounds far more natural. To download one: open Settings, then Accessibility, then Spoken Content, then Voices, then English, and download a voice marked Premium (Ava and Zoe are good choices). The game uses it from the next line on. The panel tells you which voice is speaking now.

Voice and sound

The Voice and Sound buttons at the top turn each off and on separately. Tapping the captain says the current line again.

Where is my child's progress?

The voyage is saved on the iPad as it is played: the island reached, the wood, the sail and the log. Closing the game and opening it again carries on at the start of the same island. Deleting the app deletes the saved voyage.

Accessibility

The game works with VoiceOver: the saw can be moved by swiping up or down, and every drag has an action instead (give a piece to a raft, lay it in a gap, take it back, move the flag). With Reduce Motion on, walks and crossings fade instead of moving.
