Kids Math Count Numbers Game by Chifro Production

It’s Android free application and I download it on my Android tablet. No internet connection is required. This application offers interactive interface and colorful, that makes interesting first impression, no wonder this application has won ‘Best education App’ title in the Vodafone appStar global contest 2014 on Jan 2015.

On LEARN COUNTING session, if we press the number, the correct animal will appear. Number 1, then a monkey will appear from the rainbow. Everytime we go out from each session, there’s offer to buy the free ads version. After some times we refuse to buy the ads free version, then the alert becomes ads.

On WRITE NUMBER session, we may choose number we want to write on the whiteboard, then the clue

dots will appear. We may choose the color of the ‘marker’.

On NUMBER NAME session, every letter of number name will be turn out if we touch it one by one and finally the letters are complete.

On CONNECT DOTS session, number 1-10 are scattered and we have to connect it one another. On GREATER SMALLER session, we have to choose which is the greater and smaller number.

On MISSING NUMBER session, will appear sequence of numbers but there’s missing number on the

sequence and we have to guess it. The number options are also available.

   This app has a lot of fun game for babies to children stage. The app material is having math for kindergarten, preschool and grades 1, grade 2. This interactive app has awesome engaging activities.

   Kids learn number 1 to 10, write and spell numbers, identify greater and smaller, find the missing number, learn number name, connect dots, solve puzzle and sing song number.

   Skill students needs are to touch the tablet correctly to choose the best answer.  Also be able to know the basic knowledge of number, know number 1-10 and its sequence.

   This app is good and appropriate for kid’s mental development for babies to children up to

grade 2.

   This app is recommended to use for babies up to children grade 2. The interface and

appearance are good and well-targeted. Kids will be interested due to good graphic and the will absorb the lesson easily as fun as game.  This app will be better if there’re  additional translated other country’s language of spelled number name since most country spell number differently.

Desmos Graphing Calculator

It’s Android free application and I download it on my Android tablet. I am interested with this app because this app can draw graph easily. There are many function which can be generated their graph.

Their graphic collections are complete! Just name it and you’ll find them here and no internet

connection is required. This app also allows us to trace/plot the coordinate along the desired graph and we can save our time to find the coordinate.

   Since the graphics are advanced information from a function, therefore the users should have knowledge about algebra and calculus, or at least they know about linear

equation.

   The graphic explanation is given on advanced level, so this app is so useful for college student who study advanced algebra.

   This app is fun, but we can not save our graph if we use the app on tablet. To save and share it we should log on its official website. Also, our chosen graph is vanish soon once we choose another graph function. This app will be more practical if we can create, save and yet share the created graph on our device on hand, like tablet.

IXL.COM

This is the math website. We can find this website easily on the google since it’s sponsored by

google when we type MATH.

On this website, we can choose MATH by grades or Topics. Every topics have their brief explanation. This site also offer membership for parent and teachers, as they offer the development progress report.

   This math website has all topic of math and skill of grades. We can choose the desired topic or grades, therefore no special math skill is required.

   This website is designed for all grades’ student. They have many problems for each grades/stage. I’ve chosen the kindergarten stage and the problems and targeted knowledge are appropriate enough.

   I recommend IXL.COM to help understanding math for kids. The parents and teachers can collaborate observing the student’s progress report.  It’s IXL.COM advantage by giving progress report, but it will be more attractive if there’s free trial getting progress report before joining the membership.

VIDEO MATH TRICK MULTIPLY NUMBERS BY DRAWING LINES BY MINDYOURDECISION

This video is telling us the new method to multiply the numbers. The numbers are interpreted to be lines, then the result is the intersection of those lines, so simple.  The videomaker also

To follow this method, a student should know the basic knowledge of aritmathic and algebra and also should interpret the number to lines correctly. For normal multiply, which doesn’t involve the unknown variables, this method can be used below college grade.

For college grade, this method is practice but complicated yet. It takes time once the number is 4-5 digits. More digits, more lines needed. The writer also
