Description:
The Math Machine with Spanish is a fun iPad app that gets your kids practicing their basic math skills – largely because it doesn’t feel like they’re practicing anything other than beating their last best time.
Designed for use in the classroom and at home, The Math Machine reinforces everything your child is learning at school. But because it’s presented as a Space Invaders type of game, you might have trouble getting them to do anything other than their homework.
Fourteen skill levels and bi-lingual voiceover instructions allow The Machine to be easily shared. The pre-literate new entrant can practice their basic number sequencing, while the ‘has it all sorted’ 11 year old stands by to master their fractions – and any friend who wants to challenge their speed.
While they’re playing The Math Machine your kids are gradually mastering:
– Sequential counting up to 20, 40, 100 and 1,000
– Instant recall of times tables
– The relationship between doubles and halves and how to estimate answers
– Different representations of numbers: how a fraction relates to a decimal number and percentage.
