I’m eight and I can do this make it harder

I LOVE THIS GAME WITH EVERY BONE IN MY BODY

So I’m 14 years old and unschooled and I’m going into high school after skipping every grade after 5th. I have identified myself with being a person who HATES math, because I was horrible at it.
I would cry behind my math In 5th grade math class, because I had no idea what I was doing! I have adhd and generalized anxiety, so I was incredibly scared that once I went to high school I would be extremely behind in math.
I tried everything, books websites, my parents tried to teach me!
My dad showed me this game and after one lesson I already felt wayyyyyy more confident!
After one month of doing this I’m already for algebra 2 in high school!
After each lesson I end up laughing with my dad and more comfortable with myself and my intelligence. As a unschooler it is common to feel dumb and defeated in school smarts.
I truly truly mean it when I say that this game changed my life!
What differs it from regular schools is that instead of telling you the rules and telling you to follow them, it teaches you WHY the rules are even THERE and then tells you to follow them!

I have ONE suggestion:
I would love it if after I finished all the lessons it would teach me how to do the problems without the props:)
My dad can teach me how to do it but it would be more convenient if the app did it.

100% WOULD RECOMMEND

Thank you so much

Response from developer

Thank you Ann. We are very pleased to hear that this app has enabled you to realize the potential you have within yourself to excel at mathematics. However, there is much more to Algebra 1 than what you find in this app. You may wish to consider getting the Hands-On Equations Verbal Problems Book so that you can apply your skills to word problems. https://www.borenson.com/Products/Parent-Materials/Verbal-Problems-Book

Meh

Great app, good for learning, but one problem. When you try to type in your answer through the wheel with all of the numbers, the numbers don’t show up. You can’t see them.

Videos don’t play

The videos don’t play on this app like they do on the other 2 apps.

Response from developer

The videos do not play at all, or they keep recycling not allowing you to get to the lesson. Which iPad do you have? Please respond to info@borenson.com. Thank you.

At least it teaches!

See, with hands on equations, I love it! It helps students learn, but they need to add the extra practice problems! Some students are forgetting about the importance of math! Math is what life is upheld by! So i can say, one little thing, can lead to a bigger thing. >:(
