Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: practice of skills and understandings |
Other Comments: An excellent resourse for seeing how to common denominator fractions relate. |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? Basic understanding of common denominators |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? basic computer skills for navigation. |
What extra things must be done to make it work? It took me a minute to understand that the number by the arrows was the denominator that needed to be changed, not just the fraction answer blocks |
How hard was it for you to learn? Ok |
Explanation: I had to read the directions a bit before I totally understood how to operate it. |
Ability to meet my goals: Effective |
