Our kids LOVE the iPhone and iPod Touch! So, we are developing fun applications that stimulate and inspire children to learn and practice math both at home and at school.
This application encourages Kindergarten children to practice the addition of two single digit (0-9) numbers, and the subtraction of two single digit (0-9) numbers (without negative answers).
Children can gain confidence by doing practice problems with unlimited time, or they can build proficiency by selecting "Minute Math" to see how many problems they can answer with a time limit.
Teachers are using the Kids Math Fun applications in their classrooms. Considering their comments, we added a Double Dare feature so children can expand their math skills by mastering the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. A Try Again feature allows children to develop mastery by attempting a problem again if they get it wrong.
A new Show Scores button allows children and parents to see the high scores for all four regular and all four Minute Math activities.
A score board in the right hand corner, shows how many problems have been completed along with the totals for correct and wrong answers. Graphics include: Smiling kids, kids playing outdoors, healthy fruit and vegetable snacks, boats, and buildings.
Total Practice Problems can be set between 5 and 100 problems, the Minute Math Timer can be set between 1/2 minute and 10 minutes, and High Scores can be cleared.
This looks advanced a bit beyond kindergarten to me.
