8 of 25I am 72. Great way to keep up simple math skills. Something we use everyday.
This is as close to a straight to the point math app for young learners as I've seen who either are or need to be past the furry friends and bubbles stage. I like the chalk board feature for writing and figuring, because it allows for typical algorithmic solving. The range of basic whole number operations is right, as is its flexibility. There's lots of roll up your sleeves fun. Over all, a nice job. For the price, I do expect some feature enhancements on down the road a bit, though. Maybe a whiteboard setting for starters.
You can barely do anything on this app
I emalied support and my enhancement request was implemented within a day!? My 4th grade son with concentration issues uses the app every day now for a quick math work outs. The settings are very flexible and great for any student who wants to practise math skills and sharpen speed of calculating.
I like that you have a app for learning.
MathBoard is fun and a good way to practice multiplication,division, addition, and subtraction practice but in my opinion it needs some work with its technical strategies and the voice over can be annoying and I think it could be funnier for children if there were more fun games and activities but if MathBoard fixes those small things I think it could be a very fun game.
Love all the options! Fits the needs for my 1st grader and my 5th grader.
The fact you can’t type in the ranges but have to hold down a button like an old fashioned digital alarm clock to set the number range, is really strange. Let me type in 423 if that’s what I want to set instead of having to scroll there. Otherwise it’s a great app for kids to practice maths. There are no silly games or animations to distract them; their whole attention is on solving the math problem. It’s wonderfully unmontesori (sp?). Improve the settings interface and you have my unqualified 5 start endorsement.
