All students need at one point in their school life to confront fractions. If they have manipulated lego bricks, helped to cook or to make things, they usually don’t have much trouble. Others however meet a wall, get frustrated and even give up on math. Our objective is to provide a tool to students that are struggling with fractions, or are just being introduced to fraction manipulation. We dream of a Moodle supported learning centre that provides information, that invites each learner to practice new skills, and real life projects needing in some cases team interaction. Our design includes a Moodle setup with ordered links in a logical sequence. Parallel to the academic work made of lectures and practice exercises, there are suggested projects, and a discussion room where students in different courses can converse.

The target audience is the young adolescent but should be able to include both younger and older children. Suggested team projects focus on young adolescent interests.

The business model is non-profit and entirely volunteer based and will be improved through interaction with the end users and teachers. Parents will be solicited to participate in the project through donations. Teachers will also be volunteering their time to monitor the discussion group, to encourage students, to check that progress of students is regular, and to provide helpful tips when asked.
