MatheX vs Numbers & Place Value

Get ready for the award-winning and probably most innovative way to practice math in the world. Its speech based training enables an exceptionally intuitive and motivating learning experience and advanced algorithms adapt the problems specifically to you - and the better you get the harder they will become. The exercises are based on cutting-edge research and with its state of the art design the app looks phenomenal. It has successfully competed in various competitions including the German national science fair called "Jugend forscht", the German business plan competitions "Startup Teens" and "Jugend gründet". It has also won the future 2020 competition and was awarded "App of the Week" by lerninstitut.at. So download the app now and get ready to be amazed - but remember to also answer the math problems!

Explore large and small numbers and discover how place value works – interactively. This is not a drill app but an open environment for exploring and experimenting. Understanding place value is one of the most important foundations in mathematics: it underpins mental and written calculation strategies, decimals and much more. HOW IT WORKS Drag the digits up and down with your finger. Go beyond 9 and watch ten items bundle into one item of the next place. Go below 0 and see how the next place is "unbundled". Swipe or tap the quantity below a digit to change it. At the bottom of the screen, choose how the quantity is shown: place value counters, base-ten (Dienes) blocks, euro money, dot fields, 3D base-ten material and more. TOOLS ON THE RIGHT - Speaker: listen to the number being read aloud. - Speech bubble with check mark: read the number aloud yourself and check whether you read it correctly. - Expand: shows, for example, 142 as 100 + 40 + 2. - Dice: roll a random new number. - Speech bubble with dots: say a number and watch it appear. - Question mark: some places are covered, the number is read aloud and you fill in the missing digits. MORE OPTIONS - Use the grey arrows to add or remove places – explore numbers up to 100 trillion. - Move the decimal point to work with decimals down to millionths. - Tap a place label (O, T, H …) to change its color. - Swipe across a digit to cover it; tap the cover to enter your answer and get feedback. - Number words above the digits in matching place colors – optionally as "Say Ten" number words (e.g. 284 = "two hundred eight ten four"). - Many settings in the app: thousands separator, place labels, speech rate, show or hide tools and representations, protect settings. - Share a setup or task with your class via QR code. - English (UK/US) and German. - Also available in the browser: zahlen.urff.app IDEAS FOR THE CLASSROOM - Number dictation: show 3,469. - Keep adding one to the ones. What happens when you go past 9? - Show 340. What happens when you take one away from the ones? What about 300? - Show 5,216 and expand it: which numbers make it up (5,000 + 200 + 10 + 6)? What about 5,316? - Listen to a number, then change one place. Can you read the new number correctly? - Tap the question mark and solve some tasks – the app counts them for you. - Why does the leading zero in 0453 disappear? Why does the zero stay in 204 or 240?
