Excellent app to teach maths to kids

You did a great job! I have been looking for a very simple app that can show arrays to teach multiplication to my children, but couldn’t find any. This app offers more than what I wanted. Schools should use this kin of app.

Great app

I love this app and use regularly in Year 2. I would love the option to add more ‘pages’ so I could prepare questions in advance. If it had this option I would use this app (and other apps from the same makers) instead of my regular interactive whiteboard software.

Brilliant resource!

For a free app, this is a fantastic tool! Using every day with a year 2 class

A really nice app

It’s perfect for all sorts of maths problems, I use it with my students to help them solve their sums and demonstrate different concepts. It runs really well, is pretty simple to use and has a decent set of options. And less mess than getting out the boxes of counters!

This app does not give you tasks, it’s a tool to use to solve problems.
