This game provides a fun way for children to equipartition. Equipartitioning is dividing a collection of objects into equal groups or a continuous whole into equal parts. It builds children’s understanding of fractions, ratios, division, multiplication, number sense, and number composition.

Learning Goals
This game is designed to help children strengthen their equipartitioning skills as they:
• Understand that making equal groups of objects means putting the same number of objects into each group
• Practice dividing collections of objects into equal groups
• Identify groups of objects as being equal or having more or fewer objects than other groups
• Redistribute objects in groups of unequal sizes to make the groups equal
• Explore and understand different methods of equipartitioning collections
• Learn and reinforce number names and symbols
• Use comparative language (same, equal, more, fewer, less)

Lemonade Stand is part of the four-game subitizing suite from Early Math with Gracie & Friends™, a first-of-its-kind mobile app brand based in early learning sciences, rigorously researched and developed specifically for preschool classroom use. A randomized control trial demonstrated significant learning gains in children who used the Early Math with Gracie & Friends apps.

Early Math with Gracie & Friends is not just apps! Our research shows the value of hands-on, non-digital play in early learning. In fact, for every Gracie & Friends app, we have created and researched five or more hands-on activities!

The math-focused curriculum supplement of Early Math with Gracie & Friends is based on the Next Generation Preschool Math research project funded by the National Science Foundation. The research focused on the development of eight learning apps, more than 40 hands-on and traditional preschool activities, and a digital
