What A Concept

As I was working on fraction arithmetic with a tutoring student tonight, I was struck by just how much easier this would be if some popular video game managed to work fractions into its leveling up framework. I don't mean in some clumsy way, like presenting you with a lame fraction addition question before you can unlock a perk or gun. I mean if fractions were part of the vernacular of the process, such that kids knew that if they were at level 7 and 2/3 that they needed to accumulate 1/3 more XP in order to get to level 8... Well, let's just say that fractions would probably go from being one of the weakest Math skills out there to one of the strongest, virtually overnight.
