Train your mental arithmetic ability with MindCalc! This is NOT your standard "what is 7 * 13?" type of game but here the result is already known and an arithmetic operator is given. Now you need to pick two numbers out of 9 to make this equation happen. The faster you solve your equation, the more points you gain. But if you make a mistake you need to start all over - so be careful! For an extra kick choose the highest difficulty where your score will be reset to zero in case you run out of time. You can also compete against another person to see who has stronger mental arithmetic skills!

"Mein Rechentrainer" ist ein kleines Programm entwickelt von einem Lehrer für Lehrer. "Mein Rechentrainer" ist ein Kopfrechentrainer entwickelt für das tägliche 5min-Training, die Förderstunde oder Freiarbeit. Das Programm ist nahezu wartungsfrei und sofort einzusetzen. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler werden sich leicht zurecht finden. Die Aufgaben sind an die Inhalte der Grundschule Klasse 1 bis 4 angepasst und nach didaktischen Kriterien vorsortiert (Zahlenraum, Stellenwerte, Zehnerübergang, etc.). Da sollte für jeden Rechner etwas dabei sein! Die App beinhaltet Einzelübungen (Punktejagd und Countdown) sowie zwei Partnerspiele (Rechenbombe und Rechenfußball - letzteres nur auf dem IPad). Features: - Addition, Subtraktion, Multiplikation und Division - Zahlenraum: 10, 20, 100, 1000 und 10000 - jeweils 4 Niveaustufen - derzeit 4 Übungsmodi - Arbeitsblatt Modus: zu allen Aufgabenbereichen lassen sich Arbeitsblätter (plus Lösung) im PDF-Format erstellen, ausdrucken oder exportieren Auch wenn "Mein Rechentrainer" für den Einsatz in der Schule entwickelt wurde, kann es natürlich auch beim täglichen Kopfrechentraining zu Hause nicht schaden. Wie auch "Meine Klassenmappe" möchte ich das Programm gerne mit euch weiterentwickeln! Meldet euch mit euren Ideen und Vorschlägen in meinem Forum auf www.klassenmappe.de
