 Have fun with MathSpin1...

As a parent, teacher, and tutor this application allows your student(s) to learn interactively through spinning dials and selecting answers for addition and subtraction.

Features and Benefits include:

  • Basic Addition and Subtraction for early elementary grade level (i.e.: K to 1st 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 three columns by hitting the Spin Button Bar at the bottom of the number dials.
  • Counters can be reset by touching the purple hand at the top right corner.
  • Student or teacher can also selectively spin the operand 1 and 2 columns to practice at their own pace.
  • Select from a pick list of results instead of typing in an answer or selecting from multiple choice answers.
  • Start the child thinking about addition or subtraction by starting the picker at operand 1 and counting forward for addition or backwards for subtraction while scrolling the picker.
  • Audio "musical/percussion" sounds have been selected to help provide the child positive, negative, spin, and reset feedback.
  • Results are currently set to a maximum of 24 for lower grade elementary school students.

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.
