There is no doubt that, if you want value for money in your software, Shards' Fun To Learn series tries very hard to give it. This is the third I have seen now and they seem to get even better each time.

The subject of this package is fractions but it doesn’t comprise just one game with a number of levels - there are six games, all very different. Despite this, they are all contained within one master program so there is no extra loading time.

The games are: Shady Fractions, Frac-Attack, More or Less, Beam up, Strong Arm and Hungry Radish. They cover, well and interestingly, the areas of fraction identification and the changing of denominators but don't deal with addition or subtraction of fractions.

> This is perfectly reasonable and the amusing graphics and sound will really motivate the nine-15 year olds the program is meant for. Whilst this program won't teach the concepts it will certainly motivate children to get plenty of practice.
