Six math games in 1 app

Teach >, <, and =

Build upon basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with your students.

As a parent, teacher, and tutor this application allows your student(s) to learn interactively through random spinning dials and solving math problems with timed drills varying between 1 and 10 minutes.

Features and Benefits include:

  • Greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) for addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division
  • Gauged for elementary grade levels (i.e.: 3rd to 4th grade, also useful for higher grades as they refresh their basics)
  • Spin, Select, and Check answers with interactive correct and incorrect pop-up messages as well as happy and sad face counters.
  • The spinner generates random operations to thoroughly test the child.
  • Spin all four columns by hitting the Spin Button at the bottom of the number dials.
  • Counters can be reset by toggling the start and reset timer buttons
  • Student or teacher can also selectively spin the operand columns to practice at their own pace.
  • Audio "musical/percussion" sounds have been selected to help provide the child positive, negative, spin, and reset feedback.

First four games include comparing:

  • Addition and Addition >, =, and <
  • Subtraction and Subtraction >, =, and <
  • Multiplication and Multiplication >, =, and <
  • Division and Division >, =, and <

Addition and Multiplication:

  • Addition is paired with Multiplication to drill inequality and equality
  • The multiplication drills 1 to 12 times table
  • Addition will drill 1 to 72
  • Both will result in a maximum of 144

Subtraction and Division:

  • Subtraction is paired with Division to drill inequality and equality
  • Begin to introduce negative numbers with Subtraction
  • In Division, the dividend and divisor columns have been configured to load multiples. For example selecting a divisor of 5 will show only the multiples of 5 in the dividend.

Timer Features:

  • Select minutes using the slider between 1 and 10 minutes. The slider defaults to 3 minutes.
  • Start the timer with the green button
  • The slider then converts to a progress bar which shows the time
  • Reset the timer and counts with the Red button.
"You can estimate the inequalities but watch out for those equalities!"
