iLiveMath™ Ford Cars

iLiveMathFordCars

Tweeted by Ford "This adds up to success!" - iLiveMath Ford Cars is now available on iTunes. Thanks to Ford Motor Company and their Brand Licensing group who helped us create an app which features vintage photos of the Model T, Model A, through today's Ford Fusion Hybrid Pace Cars and concept cars. California based iHomeEducator now releases iLiveMath Ford Cars for elementary grade reading and math with multimedia sounds, video, and photos packed into a Universal App for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. iLiveMath Ford Cars teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, average, mean, median, mode, and range with problems that introduce new terms such as mpg, mph, km/h, speedometer, odometer, cars manufactured per day, per week, per year, and much more.

 

 


We are always trying to find ways to get our students to use higher thinking skills to solve everyday problems in order to give them ownership to real life applications. We first purchased iLiveMath Ford Cars and really liked how it blends Math applications with history... We contacted iHomeEducator who worked with us to enhance their apps so that we can display the photograph and the word problems using our existing SMART board projectors. Now an entire classroom can benefit from the content and teachers are provided an answer key. My students love the iLiveMath Entomology app too. I would also like to say that iLiveMath apps provide a huge amount of content enriched vocabulary which has in turn extended a simple math lesson into several cross-curricular lessons. We have the entire iLiveMath series and look forward to more from iHomeEducator."

Math is introduced through illustrative word problems which are not just facts on a page, but the student must read, comprehend, analyze, and pick an answer. This process reinforces the students comprehension beyond flashcards.

A natural language engine is built into the app and randomly composes different nouns, verbs, and quantities to create questions and answers that are matched to the photograph and also to the sounds. This engages the students and helps each question seem familiar yet new to reinforce concepts.

Using the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter the teacher can control the app as well as display the word problem and photograph on an external projector. Note: The adapter does not mirror the app display but instead pushes the photo and word problem content to the external screen while the answer and formula is given to the teacher within a pop-up view on the device.

Quote from Teacher

iLiveMath Animals of Asia

math app

I wanted to share iLiveMath with my students at school, but did not want to give them access to my iPad. My school has a Promethean Board so after collaborating with iHomeEducator we can now share the teaching content with all my kids using the projector! I teach several units wrapped around the theme of a continent. At this time we are studying Asia and have iLiveMath Animals of Asia as well as Entomology."

math app

It is my hope that in the coming months, that a team of teachers and I will write a grant with the intent of getting iPads in our school. It is my mission to find appropriate applications that can be implemented to teach, reinforce and guide those struggling learners. I believe I have found it in iHomeEducator. I have to iLove this application and intend to share it with my colleagues.
