About

Addition Puzzles

Read full description

Use this exciting, interactive math game to practice addition skills. Use logic to select the numbers that will solve the puzzle. Puzzles are randomly generated so the app offers an almost infinite number of puzzles at six different levels. Puzzles can be selected that involve just whole numbers from 0 to 20 or integers from -10 to 10. Puzzles are solved by sliding tokens into the blank spaces in the puzzles. The goal is to place the correct numbers at the vertices of the diagrams so that the numbers at the endpoints of the line segments add up to the number given at the midpoint. Arcade game sound effects and speech are used to make the game fun for kids to use. The app is appropriate for classroom use. Parents will also find the app useful at home when their kids want a little screen-time.

About

Juli's Timer

Features
Read full description

Set the minutes. Tap Start. When the color is gone, time is up. A plain visual countdown for kids โ€” no cartoon animals, no jumping characters, nothing to fiddle with. Just a color shrinking, so a child who can't read a clock can still see how long is left. Leave the app and it keeps running. It will tell you when time is up. No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts, works offline. Timers up to 8 minutes are free; one optional purchase unlocks longer ones, up to 2 hours.
