About

What D Math!

Features
Read full description

Learn basic maths for children in multiple languages (written and spoken numbers and equations). Older children will be able to practice long division with interactive step by step help, as well as compete in speed multiplication against their best times. A new interactive interface has been developed for this app to display and solve maths problems as we do in school (pen and paper), supporting them each step of the way with sub problems, which build up to the final solution. Examples would be long division or vertical multiplication, addition or subtraction with multiple easier sub problems. There are more than 50 problems in the learn mode of the app. To empower parents, App runs completely offline, has children-led progression and practice modes, supports multiple profiles and keeps detailed statistics with metrics such as time, success, guesses and help used to understand your children's knowledge gaps. To continue with the children focused mindset, we have also added spoken numbers in various languages and translated the app interface into 15+ languages. This allows children to hear the numbers on the screen and also see them written in the chosen language.
