MathBoard® Addition is the FREE “addition only” version of the award-winning MathBoard app, designed to help students of all ages learn to solve math problems—not just memorize answers.
This highly configurable app adapts to each student’s skill level, from early learners beginning with single-digit addition to more advanced students tackling algebra-style equations. Whether at home or in the classroom, MathBoard Addition provides a supportive, hands-on learning environment that promotes true comprehension.
Students can solve problems using a built-in scratchboard, get help through the step-by-step Problem Solver, and engage with learning activities like Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math (a memory game). Best of all, the app grows with your learner—difficulty settings, question styles, and number ranges are all customizable.
Key Features • Configurable number ranges and digit formats (e.g., two-digit over one-digit) • Smart “wrong answer” generation to reduce guessing • Algebra-style equation support (e.g., 6 + x = 12) • Multiple answer formats: multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank • Built-in Problem Solver teaches step-by-step solutions • Built-in scratchboard for working out problems • Quick reference tables for counting and addition • Timed activities with countdown or stopwatch options • Save and share equation settings or student results • Support for multiple student profiles

Great product you should really get it
Boo!!!!!!
great game for little ones.
This app crashes every time I tap the "Number Limit" setting.
On 4 digit addition, the answer columns are not lined up when using the direct column input . They need to fix this. Secondly, if a student gets a wrong answer all their blackboard work is wiped out and they can not review their work to see where they made mistakes. If you are not multiple choice answer averse, and you don't mind having the blackboard work wiped clean when a wrong answer is submitted, then you might like this app. I personally think multiple choice answers are fine for test but not ideal for study work. The third flaw is that to input a column answer directly you have to use up or down arrows to get to the digit you want instead of having a method for direct entry.
Good app, that is not to overwhelming for students. Love that you can save results for individual students making it great for progress monitoring. There are few more options I would like to see added. It would be great if teachers had the option to assign problems with and without regrouping. Also, instead of entering the whole sum from left to right, I would like to see the option for students to enter their answer digit by digit from right to left. Overall a nicely designed and very usefull app.
Very good implementation. Would be perfect if the number option can be added with decimal, and also fraction.
