### 5/5 — The Mighty 390!

*2025-01-05*

Since about 1958, all students who took arithmetic (as we called it) had to learn 100 problems each of addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and 90 for division (because you cannot divide by zero).

Every one of those problems can be seen over and over on math lite, plus more of the higher-numbered problems!  That is the toy to put on the phone to relive memory, and even live dreams!

Thank you!

### 2/5 — 1 divided by 4 is a fraction

*2020-12-27*

1 divided by 4 is .25 not 4.

*2014-11-06*

Great app! Simple and easy to use and motivates students! Also just emailed the company about a problem I had, and they replied very quickly! It was also helpful! If they are thinking about any new apps... Integers would be great to add!! 

Thanks!

### 3/5 — There's better out there

*2014-07-07, version 5.5*

The drills are very bland. I much prefer Bright Spark Maths. The graphics are much better and it holds the child's attention for a lot longer.

### 1/5 — Ok
