FRAX Sector 2 overview:
We are excited to announce the release of a new Frax Sector! Available for teachers to activate once students have completed all Sector 1 missions (subscription permitting), Sector 2 (where students can explore the Foundations 2 curriculum in the Frax galaxy) includes favorite games and characters from Sector 1, as well as all new ones to improve students’ understanding of such math standards as equivalence, decimals, and operations. Sector 2 will also cover the following skills:
Early fraction arithmetic:
Decomposing fractions
Addition and subtraction with like denominators
Multiplication of a whole number by a fraction
Introducing decimal notation (tenths and hundredths)
Fraction and decimal number line estimation
Creating equivalent fractions
Comparing any two fractions
Sector 2 offers more advanced content designed for students in grade 4+ who are ready to continue their journey after completing Sector 1, and best of all, students can continue to use their existing tokens to purchase new items for their Student Cabin and the brand-new Happy Acres Room. Teachers and students can also now access other exciting features, such as:
Happy Acres Room
Now students have a new room to spend their tokens on characters, trees, bushes, buildings, and even planets and spaceships!
New Milestones and Achievements
As students complete games and missions and are awarded tokens, they will earn new trophies, rank badges, and milestone certificates to add to their Sector 1 trove.
New Teacher Guides
Sector 2 will include all new Offline Resources with mission objectives and activity descriptions that provide teachers with:
An overview of what students are doing and learning in each mission
Key teacher language that helps teachers to imitate the language that Frax uses to describe models and strategies during the missions to provide seamless assistance to struggling students
Mission debrief questions that give teachers quick questions to ask the class after each mission to help them verbalize the reasoning they used to solve the mission’s activities
Text-to-Speech
Sector 2 supports Frax Text-to-Speech features that allow students to hear on-screen text read aloud.
Expanded Teacher Reporting App Features
Teachers can view reports of student and class progress in Sectors 1 and 2, as well as sector-specific Core Understandings, Milestones, and Mission Details.
Expanded Student Demo
Teachers will have the ability to access all unlocked Sector 2 games (subscription permitting) with the expanded Student Demo feature located in Teacher’s Frax reports.
