Math (junior)

Four math games allow children to experience math concepts through manipulation. Rods is an addition/subtraction game that uses different sized rods side by side to show how two numbers make up another one. The child selects the rod that makes up the missing piece.Fill the Cup allows the addition of fractions. Eight cups are filled by some fraction which shows on the cup. The child selects one to pour into a target cup, trying to fill it exactly. As the level goes up more difficult fractions are used.Balance 1 is also an addition game. Two or three weights are placed on a pan on the computer side of the balance, and, depending on the level, the child must place one or two weights on the pan on their side of the scale to make it balance.Balance 2 is for multiplication. This time a weight can be placed in various position on the balance to make its effect lighter or heavier. Depending on level, the computer places one or two weights, and the child is given one or two weights that they must place to make the scale balance.The games provide instant feedback - the cup still isn't full or overflows, the balance thunks on one side, the rod is sticks out or doesn't reach - and allow correction. This builds confidence in the concepts and process of math rather than focusing on a single right answer.

Apple Staff FavoriteTop 50 FREE Educational AppI have provided a virtual set of fraction bars on www.abcya.com for several years. Many teachers have contacted me about creating a similar application for the iPad. Here it is! I offer this app for free because virtual manipulatives alone do not provide meaning for learners; they require a teacher to guide meaning and connections.A good feedback loop is essential to deliver the best results. I encourage adults to send your thoughts and suggestions on how to improve this app. To the best of my ability I will incorporate your ideas into subsequent versions to deliver what you want.-----------------------------PRIVACY DISCLOSUREVirtual Manipulatives:- Does not contain third-party ads.- Does not contain in-app purchases.- Does not contain integration with social networks.- Does not use analytics/data collection tools.- Does include links to apps by ABCya.com in the iTunes App Store.For more information on our privacy policy please visit:http://www.abcya.com/mobile_app_privacy_policy.htm---------------------------

★★★ Featured in AppsGoneFree. Your daily free app resource. ★★★FREE During SXSW (Mar 04-12)You’ve played games forming words from letters, but how well can you form equations from numbers?Numbler is a game where players build math equations in a familiar crossword style board. All the mental fun of popular board and online word games, but with numbers instead of letters.FEATURES: ✔ Simple and addictive gameplay that people love from well-known word games✔ Challenge other players online or test yourself against the computer✔ A fun and educational way for students to sharpen their math skills✔ Suitable for all ages: children to adultsPLACING TILESPlayers take turns forming or extending equations in a horizontal or vertical direction. Tiles must be placed according to the following rules:1. Each turn must use at least 1 tile from the board and 2 tiles from your hand2. All adjacent tiles must be part of a true and complete equation3. Tiles cannot be moved once they are played4. Players may choose to pass and forfeit their turn5. The game ends when both players pass twice in successionSCORINGThe score for a turn is the sum of each digit in the equations formed or extended during that turn, according to the following rules:1. Operator and equal sign tiles have no score value but do help capture bonus tiles. 2. The value of two consecutive number tiles is the sum of their individual values. So a 1 and 2 tile placed beside each other has a value of 3, not 123. The value of a created or extended equation is increased or multiplied by bonus tiles covered by tiles placed during the turn

MathBoard is a highly configurable math app appropriate for all school aged children. Beginning in kindergarten, with simple addition and subtraction problems, through elementary school where learning multiplication and division can be a real challenge. MathBoard will allow you to configure the app to best match the abilities of your individual child/student.MathBoard is a highly configurable math app appropriate for all school aged children. Beginning in kindergarten, with simple addition and subtraction problems, through elementary school where learning multiplication and division can be a real challenge. MathBoard will allow you to configure the app to best match the abilities of your individual child/student.More than just standard drills, MathBoard encourages students to actually solve problems, and not just guess at answers. This is done by providing multiple answer styles, as well as a scratchboard area where problems can be worked out by hand. Students can also turn to MathBoard's Problem Solver for further help. This powerful teaching feature walks students through the steps required to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations. Additionally, the included quick reference tables serve as a valuable learning tool.**New to MathBoard 2.0 is the inclusion of Math Activities. These activities include Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math (a memory game). Each activity is based upon the current settings level, so the difficulty will vary based on the student’s knowledge.WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY:“This is the best integer practice app or program I have found in 34 years of teaching math.”- Tim Seiber, Math Teacher“MathBoard has charm without losing track of its fundamental purpose (Arithmetic drills).” - MacWorld (4 out of 5 mice)“MathBoard is a stunning app for teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. The number of customization options available makes this a brilliant app for making math fun for elementary school children.” - androappleFEATURES:- Random equation generation for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Squares, Cubes, and Square Root problems.- Number ranges are configurable, including the ability to require certain numbers to be in each problem and the ability to omit negative answers.- Number and order of displayed digits can be limited, allowing for equations to conform to certain learning levels (e.g. 2 digit numbers over 1 digit numbers).- Generates simple equations, as well as single step algebraic equations. (e.g. 6+x=12; x-8=2; 5x=25).- Intelligent problem and "wrong answer" generation makes guessing more difficult.- Includes both multiple choice, as well as, fill in the blank style questions.- Activities and quizzes can be timed, either as a countdown timer or elapsed time.- Equation configuration settings can be saved for future use as well as shared with others.- Multiple student profiles are supported. Includes the ability to save, review, and share the results for activities and quizzes with others.- Problem Solver will outline the steps needed to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.- In addition to standard drills, activities are included (Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality and Match Math).- Quick reference math tables for counting, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.- Supports VGA/HDMI/AirPlay output.
