The software allows students to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions. It also displays pie charts that are sectioned off to illustrate the concept of fractions. The program is very easy to use and a good practice program for grades 3-5. However, because negative numbers are not included, no remainders are allowed for division problems and no decimals are used, the program is probably of limited value to advanced students.

    Track Wildlife Migration and Spring's Journey North The journeys of a dozen migratory species are tracked each spring. Students share their own field observations with classrooms across the Hemisphere. In addition, students are linked with scientists who provide their expertise directly to the classroom. Several migrations are tracked by satellite telemetry, providing live coverage of individual animals as they migrate. As the spring season sweeps across the Hemisphere, students note changes in daylight, temperatures, & all living things as the food chain comes back to life.
