Frog Fractions, is a game by a friend of a friend, that's gaining some traction on the internet this week. It's an edutainment game to help youngsters better grasp fractions! You are a frog defending fruit from insects, by devouring them. Click the mouse to whip out your tongue! The longer you hold it, the farther it goes!

Why, even Tycho is caught up in the Fraction craze:

    If it gets more kids to understand fractions (which really aren't that hard), then I applaud this.

    Fractions are incredibly useful and fun so this seems sick.

    I mean you never have to use division with them how awesome is that?

    I'm not understanding how this game is teaching fractions at all. I'm missing something, obviously.

    Are you missing 1/2, 2/4, 4/8, 0.5, 50%, or 16/32 of it?

    I must be. I see those popping up when I eat insects but they don't seem to affect anything or make any sense.

    One of three of these words will probably help: nightstand, note, tape.

    no you munch bugs

    the numbers don't really have anything to do with the actual game, they just sort of pop up for no reason when you eat a bug but i only played about 15 minutes. maybe they matter later?

    I guess I should have actually played this earlier. It's crazy awesome, but I am finding I lag horribly during the underwater cave.
