Assessing fraction knowledge by a digital game

作者:

Highlights:

• Fraction understanding is an important predictor of mathematics achievement.

• We used a digital game with tilt control to assess conceptual fraction knowledge.

• The digital game employed fraction magnitude estimation and comparison tasks.

• Hallmark effects of fraction magnitude processing were replicated using the game.

• Additionally, game performance correlated with students' math grades.
