### 5/5 — Undo vs Eraser

*2018-03-31*

Why do we have to use a teeny-tiny fake eraser to erase? Why not just hit an "undo" button? An undo button that lets you undo in increments would be great. For example, the Microsoft Word program lets you undo each last step you performed. I would love to see an undo button in this app too.  It would make things faster and easier. I mean, isn't math difficult enough? It would be a good excuse for updating the app too. Updates are always a good thing and one button is all I am suggesting. I think that an undo button would make this lovely application more pleasant to use. I know that using an old fashioned eraser is fitting, but I find that the eraser is not effective in that I still see remnants of the chalk after I erase. No offense, but I find that annoying. Thanks for this great app. I would be very grateful for an undo button. It's a great app and I am giving it 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Almost there...

*2015-08-16*

Works just like the original Mathboard app. Unfortunately, it's a bit glitchy. While playing the ordering fractions part, a fraction will randomly disappear after being dragged to a box. It doesn't reappear at the top - it's just "gone." Then, it says the problem is not complete and if you submit the answer it counts it wrong. This is a five star app if it can be fixed.

### 5/5 — Versão em português, por favor!

*2014-01-31*

Ótimo app. Comprei para ajudar meus alunos, mas ajudará mais ainda quando tiver a versão em português.

### 4/5 — A maths tutor writes

*2013-12-23*

Whilst the fraction calculations in this app are probably more complicated than you would ever need in an exam situation, the arithmetic you need to use in order to solve the puzzles is all good practice. There are help sections on each of  type of calculation with detailed step by step instructions on how to perform them.

There is also a glossary of important terms used in fractions. Whilst you would expect there to be addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions (and there are) there are also some useful unexpected functions such as a number line where the student can order fractions with different denominators therefore really making the student think about the size of the fraction rather than just ordering numbers.

You can also use this app to explore equivalencies  and compare fractions.

I  like the blackboard function which enables the student to write calculations on the screen in different coloured chalk.  This  can be  positioned  at the bottom of the question screen thus enabling you to see the sum and write on the screen at the same time.

If you prefer you can use the whole screen to write on, either way it is a useful function.

You can choose to display the fractions either as a pie or as a fraction wall. If you are using this app as a teacher you can add multiple students and it records their scores and saves them if required. Each game consists of 10 questions, so not too long (in my opinion). It has a time function which is not necessarily a good thing as feeling you are competing against the clock may lead to mistakes.

This app is available for iPhone and iPads and personally I feel it works well on both.

### 5/5 — Awesome

Such a great way to reinforce fraction knowledge in. Students.
