Clpretzel Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Do you have a favorite app for practicing addition/subtraction facts? Edited March 12, 2012 by Clpretzel Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monalisa Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My dd likes Rocket Math and Hungry Fish. Splash Math is also good, but is more than just math facts -- its a whole grade level of math practice (and costs $9.99). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warneral Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My kids like math bingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Math Evolve is another really nice choice, it includes all 4 operations and even throws some mental math into the mix. I have a big review here - http://appsforhomeschooling.com/2011/homeschool-math-app-review-math-evolve/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We like Mad Math. It has addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The games are flashcards, bubble math, and bingo. It also tracks the kids' progress for addition, subtraction, and multiplication for each of the fact families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Mad Math looks good Erin - for the price, that's a lot of reinforcement. How does the tracking look? Does the app somehow adapt to drill more often on the facts that aren't mastered yet? That would be awesome :) - haven't found an app that does that yet.

Does the app somehow adapt to drill more often on the facts that aren't mastered yet? That would be awesome :) - haven't found an app that does that yet. As the user drills more, he moves up levels so the equations get harder. I don't know if it specifically drills the unknown facts. For my ds9, I look at the stats and then remind him of the answers to ones he missed. For my dd6, I'm still not to the point where I push math fact recall but it helps me guide our math practice. It's not perfect. My dd has moved up in flash cards and bingo, but she can't do the bubble math at her current level as she still has trouble with number relationships. In the flash cards, you can adjust the maximum value which helps me concentrate on particular facts. It's the kids' favorite math app and when bored, I even play it sometimes.

Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We just started Xtramath. It's free! Not sure if the kids like it yet or not. It's a website, but we have been doing it on the iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
