Flash Cards: Math Facts

As a former math professor with a focus in K-8 math teaching methods, I am more than pleased with this App. The user can set their own math level parameters, set any operation or any combination of the four. I am especially glad that the developer of this App has included "change unknown " equations. (i.e. 7+_=12). This type of equation helps to develop mathematical thinking in young children.

This is a very good app especially for those kids who struggle memorizing their math facts. In the Settings area, very specific parameters can be set for any math function. Parameters can be narrowed to have a child concentrate on facts with which he/she is having difficulty. Adjustments can be made as to the number of flash cards to do in one session. A constant number for any function can be set. Example: if child just needs to concentrate on the 9’s multiplication facts. A highest number limit can also be set to use with the 9. (Ex: all multiplication facts up to 9x5. All addition facts up to 9+9, etc) I also appreciate the fact that there is the option to not only provide the answer, but missing addend, subtrahend, etc. This provides a different way of processing the math fact. Thank you so much for thinking through situations children struggle with in memorizing math facts while developing this app. Lastly I appreciate and so does my child, that this is NOT a flashy, visually over stimulating app and that the right and wrong answer alert doesn’t assault the auditory senses! Can you develop a similar App for spelling?

Buy this app! It is quick & easy to use. From short car rides to waiting for doctors appointments, it is a great way to practice their skills. I have continued to use this app for my children from kindergarten through 3rd grade and will confine to use it for years to come. As they learn more you have the ability to adjust what types of math skills they will be tested on.
