Description: Practice number line skills (whole numbers, decimals, mixed numbers, and fractions).

Hints/Tips:

• If it asks you to log into OpenFeint you can just cancel it by choosing "I don't want these features."
• The game progresses from whole numbers to fractions, to mixed numbers, etc.
• After every few rounds there is a "sushi" round where you have to estimate to cut an eel into a fraction. The closer your estimate to equal parts the more money you make in the game.
• Move your diver above the water. Tap below the water to make him dive. Tap the clam 3 times to open it and get the pearl. Avoid running into electric eels.

Integration Ideas:

• Math
• Play the game to practice number line skills.
