How to Play the Types of Fractions Game

1. Choose Your Difficulty
   On the Main Menu, you have two ways to play:
   Proper vs Improper: Only two types of fractions will appear.
   Include Mixed Numbers: This adds a third category, making the game a bit more challenging.
   

2. Know Your Categories
   To win, you need to recognize these three types:
   Proper Fraction
   The Rule:
   The top number (numerator) is smaller than the bottom number (denominator).
   The Meaning:
   It is less than one whole unit.
   Example: \(\frac{2}{5}\)
   

Improper Fraction
The Rule:
The top number is larger than or equal to the bottom number.
The Meaning:
It is equal to or greater than one whole unit.
Example: \(\frac{7}{4}\)

Mixed Number
The Rule:
It has a whole number sitting next to a proper fraction.
The Meaning:
It shows exactly how many wholes and how many extra parts you have.
Example: \(2 \frac{1}{3}\)

3. How to Play
   Observe the Display:
   A fraction will appear in the center of the screen.
   Compare the Numbers:
   Is there a large whole number on the left? It’s a Mixed Number.
   Is the top number smaller than the bottom? It’s Proper.
   Is the top number bigger or the same? It’s Improper.
