1. Install the ClassLink App, "Facts and Fracts."
2. Launch Facts and Fracts from your ClassLink Launchpad.
   
   


3. SSO will automatically log you in.

1. Open the "Library" and Search & install "Facts and Fracts."
2. Choose "Install"
3. "Allow and Continue"
4. Choose your State, District and School. Note: If you do not find your school, do not proceed. Email support@edtechgames.com.
   
5. Launch "Facts and Fracts" from the "Teacher's Page" you added it to to view your reports. SSO will automatically log you in.
6. Students MUST go to your "Teacher Page" that you installed it to and launchthe app from there.
7. NOTE! This process installs it to your "Teacher's Page," and students will LAUNCH It from your Teacher's Page. However, often both teacher and students are unfamiliar with this "Teacher's Page," so be sure to "Share Page" so that your students will have access to it. (See image below)
   
   
   



Sharing your Teacher Page:

1. You must have at least 1 "Course" created. Select the desired Course.
   
2. Open the App Center. Under "Categories, select "Mathematics." Scroll down to "Facts and Fracts" and select it.
   
   
   
3. Install the Facts and Fraccts LTI 1.3 App
   
   
   
4. The first installation screen will pre-populate your information.
   
   
   
5. Select your State, District and School, then press Submit.
   
   
6. This will launch the Onboarding process.
   
   
7. When Onboardin completes, Launch "Facts and Fracts."
   
   
8. SSO will automatically log you in.
   

1. When the game launches, press "Go" and follow the instructions.
2. Keep in mind that this game have been designed and HEAVILY tested to be intuitive for students. To get the best sense of how it operates, please grab a student and watch how they approach it.

1. Your school report will quickly show you what Usage, Placement and Progress look like at your school. In the table it will give you detailed information about each class and what the level of mastery is for each individual standard. Each class can be drilled into for even more information. Note that this example shows TEKS standards. The report will show the correct standards for your state.

1. Your class report quickly shows you where each student placed and has progressed to. The table below shows their exact status with each standard.

1. The student report gives detailed information about the student's usage, placement, progress, time spent, time remaining and how much of a grade's fraction conent they typically master per hour. This student had a very long way to go and is a very helpful example of what a student's progress might be like as they master all of foundational fractions.

1. Your class report quickly shows a clear summary of where each student is with the particular operation you are looking at:

We currently cover the Common Core and TEKS fraction standards for 3rd grade and have started rolling out content for 4th grade. 5th-grade will follow shortly after.

For now we have been rather stunned by our initial research results. Nearly all of the students we have assessed so far have shown a tremendous need to review these foundational fractions concepts. As a result, we are very eager to help students truly master these foundational concepts so that they will be prepared as soon as our additional curiculum becomes available?

Hardware

WebGL using Chrome ver 72+
(The slowest chromebook we've found, the Lenovo N22, runs it adequately)
Hardware Acceleration for WebGL must be enabled (it would be very rare for this to be turned off).

iOS: Any iOS 11 device.
That would include iPad 5+ (2014), iPad Air 1+ (2013), iPad Mini 2+ (2013).
(A7+ devices that support apple's "metal" graphics and have a 64-bit cpu)

Android (Samsung Galaxy Tab S3+)

Naturally, that will depend on how much they currently have to learn. In our research so far students seem to follow a rough bell curve from 1 to 20 hours. So the fastest finishers can (and should) test out in their first session or two, while the deeply struggling students can possibly require 20 hours.

In practice, we've found that schools get the best results if they schedule usage rather intensely, like 30-minutes a day for 2 weeks. Then slower students can keep going for another week or two if they're not finished. Often schools want to squeeze it in here and there, which can take months. But it's difficult to maintain focus for that long. But if you can lock it into a schedule, even once or twice a week, you'll still be just fine. You have have to maintain the scheduling--even for the students that take longer.

We recommend starting 4th grades and higher immediately. Our research shows that they are all usually lacking significant fluency and confidence with our most basic fractions concepts. Starting them early will give even your struggling students to master these pre-requisite skills before you start trying to teach them new concepts.

We're not currently aware of any bugs in the game. If you find one please use the in-game bug reporter to send us as much information about it as you can. Thank you!

If your device is detected to be using Swiftshader, that usually means that your Chrome browser has been set to disable hardware acceleration.

Here is an excellent article about how to confirm Chrome's hardware acceleration settings and turn it back on: https://www.lifewire.com/hardware-acceleration-in-chrome-4125122

In a nutshell, you click on THIS to check: chrome://gpu
Then you click on THIS to change it: chrome://settings

We've sometimes heard of security software asking if you really want to change this, but these links are literally just changing your local Chrome settings, so they’re completely secure.
