I thought the game was great for teaching refraction, but had nothing to do with "fractions" as advertised. It was great for learning logic and being able to use angles, which we teach in our geometry unit, but I was looking for a game for fractions.
Its easy enough that kids could do it on their own and would do it on their own. It seems to be addictive so kids would probably use it again and again. It teaches logic and geometry. I'd use it as fast finisher and as a motivator for slower kids to get their work completed. I might also use it as a reward for good behavior in the classroom.

Laser beam refraction that reinforces fractions
I wish the students had a log in that allowed me to track what level and puzzle they were on. It would also be nice if there was a way to tell whether they were having trouble with refraction or the fractions. The levels increase in difficulty and that is nice, however, I wish there were more real life example/problems that the students could work on at higher levels. This game has a very simplistic goal. If you are looking for something basic and kind of fun for your students than this will serve that purpose. However, if you are looking for more in depth problem solving work with fractions then this isn't your game.
