How fast can you add and multiply? Solve math problems against the clock! ArithmeTick is a challenging math game where you solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems! The objective in ArithmeTick is to solve as many problems as possible before time runs out. You are awarded points for each correct answer depending on the difficulty and additional time for each correct answer. A practice mode is also included to help sharpen your math skills. With five difficulty levels, ArithmeTick is perfect for kids and adults! Educational Math Apps for Kids by iPhoneAndKids "Challenge kids with a set of flashcards that can be adjusted to include addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, or a combination of any or all skills. With a 'tick-tock' timer spurring kids on, this app gets the brain moving and would be great practice for those timed math tests in school." Great game for math nerds by Pusalieth "If you like doing math for fun you'll enjoy this game. Has multiple difficulties and you can specify between addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division." Flash cards are a treat by gfhardin "I <3 ArithmeTick! I had been trying to figure out a way to incorporate flash cards into my son's life all during 1st grade. As 2nd began, I realized there might be an App for that. There is, and it rocks! Now flashcards (OK, ok on the iPhone) are a carrot instead of a groaner." Father of 10 and 6 by RamkiHome "Easy way to entertain and challenge the kids and some times helps the adults to focus and regain some attention span. Simple and cool interface. I had this in my windows mobile and glad they have it in iPhone."

Created for my daughter, who finds math challenging but never gives up trying to succeed, TouchNumbers Flash Cards is an easy-to-use, touch-based math flash card app that's perfect for the entire family, and great for extra practice as part of remote learning. Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with numbers from 0 to 999. Get random problems from multiple difficulty levels, review individual facts (1+1, 2+1, 3+1, etc.), families (1+?=10, 2+?=10, etc.), or test yourself with special modes like doubles, squares, and time or money-related numbers. Increase the difficulty by turning on "mixed" answer mode where the missing number can be anywhere in the problem (1+?=2, ?+5=6, ?-7=3, 10X?=80, etc.). Each operator has its own settings and can be turned off so you can practice on a hard level for one, an easy level for another, and turn others off completely. Support for multiple users and all recent device types (requires iOS 11 or newer) in one app mean you can use TouchNumbers Flash Cards with the entire family. Resume right where you left off after a break or phone call. Choose from one of 10 themes including animals, paint, space, chalkboard, and more. Swipe or shake to erase an answer or skip the card if no answer is entered (skipped cards will eventually return). Tap the card to check your answer. For an added challenge, cards do not repeat in most modes until all have been answered, and answers are entered using a keypad (not multiple choice!). Turn on the option to show the correct answer as a learning aid. Checks and "x"es (and optional sound) let you know if your answer was correct. If not (or if you just entered the wrong numbers) a unique optional second-chance feature lets you try the same card again. Optionally, turn on rounds of configurable length to get a report of how many were correct--use it as a quiz!
