MathSpin2 v1.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch

MathSpin2

Time your students in basic multiplication and division… As a parent, teacher, and tutor this application allows your student(s) to learn interactively through spinning dials and selecting answers for multiplication and division with a timed random drill between 1 and 10 minutes.

Features and Benefits include:

  • Basic multiplication and division for early elementary grade level (i.e.: 2nd to 3rd 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.
Unique Features to 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.

Unique Features to Multiplication: The result column only reflects results in the times table for 1 to 12.

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.

Multiplication and Division can be fun!!

Our website will be updated to help our teaching and student community collaborate on future enhancements, feedback, and other applications.

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."

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.
