Squeebles Flip Multiplication vs Hoot and Squeak Maths

The Squeebles are back, helping you learn your times tables in a unique new way, in Flip Multiplication, an app designed and developed in conjunction with UK head teacher Ian Wilson and St. Margaret's Lee Primary School in London. Discover how to simplify the process of learning times tables by encouraging children to "flip" the question if they aren't sure of the answer straight away. They may know that 7 x 5 equals 35, but when faced with 5 x 7, they struggle. By understanding that those two questions are asking the same thing, children can move forward quickly with not only learning their times tables, but also understanding how multiplication works, cutting the number of tables they have to "learn" almost in half. This app can be used as a standalone method for learning tables or in conjunction with the more traditional method of learning the tables in their "sets". The tables are split into six, manageable, colour-coded levels, each one progressively slightly more challenging than the last. To pass a level, your child must not only answer all the included tables correctly in practice, but also prove they know them in a timed test. Questions from previous levels are also included in tests so that they aren't forgotten as progress is made through the app. A tables grid that shows the levels and each child's progress through them is available for reference and a "Flip" button for each question gives children the chance to see how flipping a table works. If they don't know the answer straight away, they can flip the question and see if that helps them. A great reward system and fun mini-game keeps children motivated, with 35 completely new Squeebles characters to collect as they work their way through the app. The mini game provides a welcome "brain break" but can only be used if enough work has been done in the educational part of the app. Parents and teachers can customise the app so the pass mark and required time for each level is set on an individual per-child basis and full reporting of progress is available for each child. An unlimited number of children can be registered with the app. As with all our apps, there are no in-app purchases, no adverts and no links to the internet of any kind. If you have any feedback on any of our apps or would like to suggest new features, then please e-mail us at info@keystagefun.co.uk Happy Squeebling!!!!

Hoot and Squeak Maths provides a new enjoyable environment for your students and/or children to practice their basic arithmetic. It has a simple, friendly user interface that provides you with the ability to tailor what sort of questions are presented, and how difficult they are. A game involves a number of questions, where the aim is to stop Squeak the cheeky monkey from climbing high enough up the vine where he can wake Hoot the Owl who just wants to sleep. Answering a question correctly invokes a fun animation, and hinders Squeak in his climb. Answering incorrectly simply allows Squeak to climb higher. It’s always fun; there are no negative experiences. There are three levels of play. Each presents a quiz of multiple choice questions, where the largest number in any question is limited by what you have configured on the settings screen. You can choose any or all of: Addition Subtraction Division; and Multiplication The app focuses on numbers no larger than 144 (fitting in with the standard 12 Times Tables) though you can reduce this as appropriate. Each level of play presents a different number of questions: Easy: 12 Medium: 24 Hard: 36 Students can play over and over with an aim of both memorising their basic arithmetic, and, by answering faster, gaining a higher score. Hoot and Squeak Maths is fully compatible with the Apple Schoolwork app, so as a teacher, you also have the ability to create a lesson, share it with your class and let them do the lesson in their own time or as homework! Hoot and Squeak Maths also supports full VoiceOver based navigation on iPhone, iPad and Mac. No one is left out. PKCLsoft takes children's privacy very seriously.
