MathTables by PalaSoftware vs 100 Board Counting Patterns

MathTables is a powerful and fun twist to learning arithmetic. With normal math problem tables you need to provide the answer to the problem. With MathTables there is a twist, both the problem and the answer are provided, you just need to match the answer to the correct problem. Math tables is perfect for any level of learning or any age of student. MathTables is configurable to quiz you with 12, 20 or 30 problems. All the problems are generated by the iPhone and randomized so there is a virtual unlimited set of possibilities. MathTables allows you to choose individual operation types from addition, subtraction, multiplication division, squares, cubes and square roots or a combination of the above. You can also provide a range of numbers (from -99 to 99) you want to work with. Parents you will find this feature invaluable for helping younger students who need to limit the scope of problems they are currently capable of handling. Additionally, MathTables has a timer thus allowing a single student the opportunity to see if he can improve on a previous time, or even challenge a friend to a "quiz-off". MathTables is a great brain exercise, use it a few minutes each day and watch your math improve over time.

Ages 3-6. Numbers and Patterns naturally go hand in hand. This app will help your child to visualize the sequencing of numbers, thus helping them build a firm foundation for mathematics. Activities like this were used by Manel Wickremasinghe for her Montessori students in the 1970s. Of course, it was done with paper and colored pencils back then! Today Manel is happy to bring this concept for children to practice number sequencing via the iPad. It is one of our most popular math apps in the App Store! In this extension of the Hundred Board children can assemble patterns by identifying the correct numbers as they are heard aloud. The app is very easy to follow: 1. Choose an activity from the Home Page. 2. Touch the large speaker button to hear the next number required to assemble the pattern. 3. Touch that number on the Hundred Board and the colored square will transfer to the board to assemble the pattern. 4. Your score will appear at the bottom. Number pattern exercises help children reinforce their ability to identify numbers and their sequence. Activities like this are often created by Montessori teachers when children need help with these concepts. Many of you asked for this extension and we are happy to bring it to you! www.mobilemontessori.org
