Number Sense Lite vs Tri This Math

Note: This Free version only provides one of the nine activities. The others are available as an in-app purchase. Number sense is foundational to mathematics. Stages math is a number sense app curriculum for assessment and instruction. Activities improve students' number sense and correlate with math standards for typically developing students in pre-K to 3rd grade. Research surrounding differentiated instruction and universal design for learning has guided the development of this software. Instruction and assessment activities are provided in nine key mathematical skill areas. Each skill area has learning scaffolds with customizable settings. For example, you can select activities like counting money, academic goals like the coins and bills presented, and student access method like mouse or switch use. Students begin within the parameters you set. Then, built-in program “smartness” guides students’ advancement in tiny increments. Data are gathered during instructional practice and assessments. Detailed information such as questions asked, student responses, and time spent are reported. The program accumulates student performance over time, which helps you build meaningful student portfolios.

Need to practice the four basic arithmetic operations? Need to practice creating number sentences with three numerals? Need to practice using 3 addends for sums to 20? Need to practice mixed operation number sentences with totals to 99? In each turn players are given four numerals. Each player has five turns. Use three of the four numerals and the basic arithmetic operations (+, -, x, ÷) to form an equation that equals any empty square (or one occupied by your opponent) on the game grid. The total for each number sentence is computed using standard order of operations.... multiply and divide (left to right) then add and subtract (left to right). Drag that total to the corresponding grid square. Your accumulated point total for each match is updated after each term and is the total of all the grid squares you occupy plus any BONUS points earned. You may not use an answer grid square you occupy, but you can ‘steal’ your opponent’s square. In that case, your score increases and your opponent’s score decreases by the same amount. Grid size options include 20, 25, or 50 squares. The numeric range for the grids includes 14 options: 1-20; 11-30; 1-25; 15-29; 1-50; 50-99 and others.
