Great for getting an initial understanding. The video explainers are really fun and then there's a simple quiz at the end to test understanding, that can be complemented by practice worksheets from elsewhere.

Video with an ingenious way of teaching about simplifying fractions - teaching students how to 'complicate' simple fractions (e.g. turn 1/2 into 12/24) and then how to undo their own mess!
