Math can be a tricky subject for some kids to learn, which can lead to them feeling frustrated and not very confident in their skills. That's where a good math app for iPhone and iPad could really come in handy.

Kid-Friendly Design

In order for an app to be successful with kids it needs to be kid-friendly. Kids aren't going to want to keep asking Mom and Dad for help as they want to be independent and use it on their own. This app really excels in this department as kids are able to choose their own game mode and options.

Best iphone and ipad apps

If you happen to have multiple kids the app is able to follow more than one and keep track of all their results. The app focuses on helping kids with their math skills, attention, mental manipulation, fine motor, and sequential skills.

Because this is a lite version of the app not all features are available. If you purchase the full version you will receive four levels of difficulty which is great for adding that extra challenge as kids advance through the learning process.

As well in the full version you get Game Center support and four types of math lessons (addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication).

Building Their Skills

Launch the app to choose from three sections: Calculations, Tables, and Bubbles. In Calculations mode they will be solving basic addition problems with the clock ticking away.

There is a score that is kept at the top of the screen showing how many they have gotten right and wrong. At any time kids can choose to stop the clock and just work at their own speed. There is also a pause button.

Tables will utilize their multiplication skills and again there is a score and timer feature at the top. Bubbles is a whole other type of play. Bubbles is where they will be working on their sequential skills as they are asked to place the numbered bubbles in a specified order. This mode uses fun animations and graphics.

Even if your children are unfamiliar with adding and multiplying this app works as a wonderful introduction. You can work with them and work on the solution together.
