unique magical land, and academic topics to make it a truly personal and fun

Interactive Adventure in Fractionland
Advika, an 8-year-old girl with a curious mind, loved
solving puzzles and going on adventures. One sunny afternoon, she stumbled upon
a mysterious golden key hidden in her garden. On the key, it said, "Unlock
the secrets of Fractionland."
Excited, Advika ran to tell her friends Gyanshi, Kamakshi,
Shifa, and Anshika about the discovery. "We have to find out where this
leads!" she said eagerly. The friends agreed to join her on this magical
journey.
When they placed the key into a hollow tree in the park, a
glowing portal appeared. They stepped through, holding hands, and found
themselves in a land full of floating numbers and talking animals.
The River Challenge
As they walked, a wise turtle named Mr. Shellington blocked
their way. "To cross the river, solve this fraction puzzle!" he said.
He showed them two pieces of a lily pad:
- One
piece was 1/4 of a lily pad.
- The
other was 2/4 of a lily pad.
Question: How much of the lily pad do you have when
you add them together?

Mr. Shellington smiled when the correct answer was given.
"Well done! The lily pad is now whole. You may cross."

of a bag of acorns, but I ate 2/6. How much is left?"

needed.
