A effective, intelligent app to train automatization of addition und subtraction tasks as a basis for further calculating. Some features of the training tool: * addition and subtraction up to 5, 10 or 20 * intelligent training based on how memory works * individual learning progress bar with user profiles (every task has to bee four times right solved) * written and spoken presentation of the tasks * distraction free learning (no adds, popups, in-app-purchases, ...) Before using this app the child should have understood what additon and subtraction means and how to solve tasks. The app does not function as a tool for understanding, only as a tool for automatization of previos understood tasks. The goal of this app is automatization / memorization of the basic addition and subtraction tasks. Automated math basic tasks are important to be able to solve more complex math tasks (e.g. written addition or subtraction) easier, because basic tasks can be retrieved from memory. The training is optimized for your brain. In an intelligent way tasks which are not safely learned will be trained more often and in an shorter time intervals to support momorization of these tasks. Learned tasks will be repeated in higher time intervals so that they will be saved in your long term memory. If you solved all tasks three times in sequence correcly, the last challenge will be to compute against time to test if the solutions can be retrieved fast from memory (and not by couning up).

Mateo helps students master basic math facts. Problems are split into 20 modules, segmented by operation and difficulty. Mateo creates a custom workout that is based on student progress and optimized for long term retention. The ability to solve basic math problems quickly and reliably frees up mental resources, and is a great asset as math becomes more complicated! Workouts are split into two rounds. The order of questions changes dynamically to adapt to the student's skill level. For example, if the student answers a question incorrectly, that question will show up again during the workout. Please note that Mateo Premium (available via In-App purchase) is required to unlock the following features: • Multiplication/division • Setting up multiple student profiles • Adjusting difficulty and time limit Download Mateo today and get even better at math!
