Multi Base Blocks Applications vs Mnemonics Maker

Multi Base Blocks Applications contains four apps to help young children proceed from the concepts of trading and place value through to the written algorithms for addition and subtraction. Preschool children can practice trades and learn about place value and grouping using the applications Win A Block and Trade A Block. School aged children can use the applications Addition and Subtraction to bridge from performing the operations with blocks to carrying out the operations with symbols. On the same screen, students model the problem with multi-base blocks and are guided to perform trades and moves to arrive at the answer. While the students move the blocks, symbols are adjusted to match the student moves through to the final answer. Parents or teachers can help children by making choices concerning grouping size, how many digits or columns in a problem, repeating a problem, creating a specific problem or generating a random problem. The applications are not intended to teach operations in another base, but to help children become familiar with the algorithmic processes so that they can more easily learn addition and subtraction in base 10.

This app is for taking a list of ordered words and making a mnemonic sentence for remembering them. For example, "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles" can be used to remember the first 8 planets of the solar system. In its Combinations Page, It can make sentences using prebuilt parts of speech combinations. In its Table Page, it just simply lists out similar words for each part of speech, so you can choose your own combination. In both pages the word list is show across at the top with the words to choose from below. After selecting each word, the sentence auto-formats and turn green. The words selected are editable and there is a copy button to copy the sentence at any time. There is also an example list of mnemonics sorted by category pulled from the website. Hope this helps some of you avid learners out there improve your studying!
