Equivalent Fractions in "Fractions. Smart Pirate" app

Equivalent Fractions asks students to balance a bridge with buckets of firecrackers so that the pirate can cross.  The fraction equivalencies are not easy and students will really need to think about the problem.  If they choose the wrong bucket of firecrackers, they explode.  The Comparing section is similar.  Students must choose the watermelon that is larger than the one the captain is holding.  The easy levels have fractions with the same denominators.  The medium levels have different denominators and the hard levels work with larger numbers and varied denominators.
