## What is Maths Plus Minus?

Math Plus Minus is a fun learning and practising tool for kids in grades 1 to 6. 

Math Plus Minus allows your kids to practice basic addition and subtraction by asking simple questions, and providing multiple choice answers. 

You have complete control over how many questions make up a game, and how large the numbers are that comprise the questions. 
 
Like our other app, Tap Times Tables, it uses positive reinforcement to help the kids move forward with their learning. 

FEATURES:
* Works on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  Share it around the family!
* Multiple modes of learning.
* Multilingual.  Supports English, Spanish, and Serbian (both Latin and Cyrillic)
* Fun learning calculator so that kids can ask questions, not just answer them.
* Highly configurable.  Choose how many questions, and how hard they are.
* Timed questions add to the fun of learning.

FEEDBACK:

At iear.org (I Education Apps Review): 

"...we really liked these practice applications. The gaming aspect really met my kids interests. It doesn't teach you how to do the math but it certainly was much more engaging than any worksheet my daughter has done!"

The whole family love this app! I think it's the music and the fast paced gameplay that makes it desirable to everyone in the room. My kids are enjoying doing math, hooray!

### 4/5 — Math +\-

*2012-06-20*

Nice app to allow children to practice their math skills. As I said NICE

### 4/5 — Don't tell the kids they're learning!

*2011-11-19*

Bought this after having purchased pcklsofts other maths educational game taps times tables. This ones along the same lines but with addition and subtraction instead of multiplication. The kids enjoy this one as much as the other. My daughter likes the winter animal scene, whilst my son is excited to see the big green tick when he gets one right.

Great idea, recommend for kids of all ages as you can specify which numbers to use for the equations.
