Math: Use as a digital station rotation activity for students to practice procedural fluency across all four fraction operations.
Math: Facilitate "Quiz Mode" challenges as a quick, low-stakes formative assessment at the end of a unit.
ELA/Procedural Writing: Have students utilize the "Hint" text to draft their own step-by-step guides on how to solve specific fraction operations.

"Act as an expert educational web developer specializing in K-12 math tools. Create a single-file HTML5 application called "Fraction Smash Ultimate!". The UI should be modern, vibrant, and incredibly engaging, utilizing the 'Fredoka' font. Key functionalities must include: selectable operations via toggles (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division); two distinct game modes: "Practice Mode" (infinite play) and "10-Question Quiz Mode" (grading A-F); a dynamic scoring system that includes a streak multiplier (e.g., 2x score for 3+ in a row, 3x score and "fire" visual effects for 5+ in a row); operation-specific hints; basic sound effects using Web Audio API (toggleable); and a confetti effect on correct answers. The logic must accept mathematically equivalent answers (e.g., 2/4 is correct for 1/2) using cross-multiplication checking to avoid floating-point issues. Ensure a subtraction guard prevents negative results. Include a results modal for quiz completion. The design must be mobile-responsive and self-contained in one file without external image assets. "
Quick Option (Gemini Canvas): Run and use the app directly inside Gemini Canvas mode to generate assets live.
Shareable Option (Google Sites / Canvas LMS): Ask Gemini to "provide a single HTML code block." Copy the code, go to your Google Site or Canvas page, select Embed > Embed Code, and paste it in.ย
File Option (Google Drive): Save the HTML code as an .html file and upload it to Google Drive to share directly with students/staff.ย
