Available on the iTunes App Store...

iLiveMath Oceans has been featured in "Back to School Apps" and "What's Hot" on iTunes.  The app includes marine life photographs taken by iHomeEducator: humpback whales, sea lions, otters, and more combined with math word problems for a cross-curriculum teaching supplement.

 

 

We hope your children enjoy this app as much as our children do." The first in the iLiveMath series was listed by GameClassroom as a Top 10 Educational iPad App, "Stampeding toward an iPad near you, this app (iLiveMath Animals of Africa) combines math with zoology for a hair-raising learning experience."

Demonstration Video:

"Our children found word problems to be challenging and therefore we wanted to help remedy that with fun topics and multimedia to help in teaching these critical concepts by developing the iLiveMath series of apps. We recently visited an aquarium with our children, which inspired us to develop iLiveMath Oceans." Arlene Lee, CEO of iHomeEducator

iHomeEducator has released a new educational app for Kindergarten to 6th grade. iLiveMath Oceans includes over 30 types of sea creatures, educational links, and educational videos with over 100k randomly generated math word problem questions which teach addition, subtraction, and fractions.

 

"...iLiveMath apps are engaging and succeed in making mathematical connections to real world scenarios thus allowing math to 'come alive' for students. This is a great alternative to traditional practice while still providing meaningful problems to further develop concepts", states Hyperhomeschool blogger.

 

"These games are child and adult friendly. I especially loved playing just to look at the gorgeous, colorful photographs. Even better is the ability to learn 'on the go' as I usually have my iPod with me when out and about, while waiting at the doctor's office, or anywhere else I happen to be." states The Homeschool Desk

 

Just like the previous iLiveMath apps, students and teachers can collaborate on word math problems using Twitter, email, and blogs. Questions are asked and the student selects the answer from a picker dial. The student is then provided immediate correct or incorrect feedback.

iLiveMath Key Differentiators

iLive Series Key Differentiators:

  • Automated Grading: Teachers and Parents use auto-generated email and blogs to keep track of student progress.  Examples of recorded grammar app tests and math app tests show how questions are randomly compiled and how the test captures the student's correct, incorrect answers, the final percentage/count scores, and answer key.
  • Universal Apps: Most all of the educational apps for the iPad also run on the iPhone and iPod Touch as universal apps however we are starting to experiment with dedicated Educational iPad Apps which will allow us to maximize the features and functions of the iPad.

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.
