Summary: Confusing wording in fractions activity
Classification: Applications
Product: gcompris

SUMMARY
In the ‘rectangle’ levels of the fractions activity, one or more squares are
shown, and each square is divided into rectangles. I therefore find it a bit
confusing that the instructions say, e.g., ‘Select 1.5 rectangles’. What one
should actually do in this case, is select 1.5 *squares*, i.e., one square and
one half square (or the number of rectangles corresponding to 1.5 squares).
It’s not *technically* wrong, since a square is also a rectangle, but it would
be much less confusing if the instructions used the word ‘square’ when talking
about the squares. People usually don’t think about rectangles as squares. (And
the charts do also contain non-square rectangles.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch a ‘rectangle’ fraction activity.
OBSERVED RESULT
The instructions talks about selecting rectangles.
EXPECTED RESULT
The instructions should instead talk about selecting squares.
