“Papa’s Math” is a special app designed for two special grandchildren – Joy and Solomon. I pray that this app will help you get a solid start with basic math facts so that you can have confidence in your foundation. You will find that these math facts show up in many areas of real life. For anybody else who picks this up, may you be likewise blessed. This little app is limited to basic math facts: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division for numbers 1 to 10. These basic math facts provide the foundation for all of mathematics. This app has two objectives: first is accuracy, and after that, speed. Without accuracy, the rest of math has no purpose. Without speed at this level, the student will feel handicapped in most areas of mathematics and science, but also life areas as diverse as business and cooking! Features and Benefits – - Basic math facts: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division for numbers 1 to 10. - Accuracy is the first objective – you have to get the right answer - Speed is the second objective, to help the student “know” the answer, not recalculate it every time - Leader board helps you check progress and even compete a little with your friends
