Partial Product Multiplication vs The Fourth Dimension

Partial Products Multiplication helps students learn and practice the partial products multiplication method step by step. The app gives students a visual way to multiply numbers by breaking the problem into smaller partial products. The partial products are then added to find the final answer. Students can solve randomly generated problems or enter their own multiplication problems. The Partial Products Method: In the partial products method, each place value is multiplied separately. For example, in 39 × 24, the partial products are 36, 120, 180, and 600. These are then added together to get the final answer: 936. Teacher endorsements: “The math apps by Esa Helttula allow students to practice and reinforce the specific computation strategies taught in class, with as much or as little scaffolding as necessary. They also provide individualized feedback to each student, with an immediacy that is not always possible through pencil and paper practice.” — R. Zeni, Ecole Sandy Hill Elementary, Abbotsford, BC, Canada “There are students who see my examples who still need some guidance, and after using your app have said, ‘Now I get it.’ The feature of selecting possible solutions in each step helps some of my students who are still building their multiplication facts.” — Z. R. Prowell, Highlands Elementary, Edina, Minnesota, USA Easy to Use: The numbers are aligned automatically so students can focus on solving each step. After the student solves each partial product, the correct answer moves into the right place. If the student presses the wrong button, the answer appears above the keyboard but does not move.

The Fourth Dimension is a 30-page interactive book that explains a single mathematical idea in language that anyone can understand. Instead of static images or canned videos, this app employs a unique 3D touch interface that lets you literally grasp the concept of the fourth dimension with your own hands. “Not only can you blow your own mind over and over again, you can also enjoy watching your friends’ minds being blown in front of you.” — Cult of Mac “One of the coolest apps I've ever used... The Fourth Dimension is to boring learning apps what Carl Sagan's Cosmos was to staid science documentaries.” — BuzzFeed “The app is very cool, and it's unlike pretty much anything we've seen in the App Store.” — The Verge “This is one of my most favorite iOS apps ever.” — George Musser, contributing editor for Scientific American and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory (App Store user reviews follow.) “Blew my mind. I generally don't use 'learning' apps as they're mostly gimmicks. This one, though, truly made me think. I hope this developer comes out with more outstanding apps such as this one. Bravo!” — Iceitic “Astounding. That some people care passionately enough about tesseracts to go create a fantastic app for others to understand them is incredible. The app is extremely well designed, wittily written, and executed with love. That alone is worth buying it, besides the fact that I learned what the hell a tesseract was.” — Duncan MacMichael “Fantastic! This is what someone really smart, and who really knows how to teach well, can do with a tablet. And the authors are funny, too, which is a neat bonus.” — DNY “Fantastic app. I work at a leading UK university. If only all our material was this well written and presented. Definitely worth buying and then spending a bit of time with over a day or two to get your head around the fourth dimension. Great app!” — JulesFM “Great job! This app does the best job explaining the 4th dimension. Why learn it in some boring classroom when here you can have an interactive and visual explanation.” — Aco Strklalj Over 250,000 people have blown their minds with this app.
