Time to ditch the boring flashcards and improve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills with this fun game! Splat Math is an engaging way for everyone to drill mental math problems while using entertaining game mechanics. Unlike tests, quizzes, and multiple-choice exam questions, Splat Math makes math drills challenging and enjoyable for students trying to learn math and adults wanting to do some review. In the options users can choose between a practice gameplay mode where the speed can be slowed down enough for most first grade students doing arithmetic, or users can play the normal game mode and compete on the leaderboards for the highest score and achievements. With high-stakes standardized tests, college entrance exams, and even pre-employment qualifications requiring memorization of basic mathematical operations Splat Math can help people improve scores and help develop number sense. Elementary teachers can also benefit from using this app in the classroom because it aligns with common core and state math standards in the elementary grades. 1st and 2nd Grades: Add and subtract within 20. Work with addition and subtraction equations. 3rd Grade: Develop an understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers. Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic. 4th Grade: Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems. Initially addition is unlocked in the game, and after scoring enough points all four operators will eventually be unlocked. Optionally, the full game can be unlocked instantly via a small in app purchase.
