MathBoard Addition vs Number Line, by MLC

The perfect starting point for mastering addition—now with iCloud Sync, Apple Pencil, speech input, and support for iPadOS 26’s new windowing system. MathBoard® Addition is the FREE “addition only” version of the award-winning MathBoard app, designed to help students of all ages learn to solve math problems—not just memorize answers. This highly configurable app adapts to each student’s skill level, from early learners beginning with single-digit addition to more advanced students tackling algebra-style equations. Whether at home or in the classroom, MathBoard Addition provides a supportive, hands-on learning environment that promotes true comprehension. Students can solve problems using a built-in scratchboard, get help through the step-by-step Problem Solver, and engage with learning activities like Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math (a memory game). Best of all, the app grows with your learner—difficulty settings, question styles, and number ranges are all customizable. Key Features • Configurable number ranges and digit formats (e.g., two-digit over one-digit) • Smart “wrong answer” generation to reduce guessing • Algebra-style equation support (e.g., 6 + x = 12) • Multiple answer formats: multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank • Built-in Problem Solver teaches step-by-step solutions • Built-in scratchboard for working out problems • Quick reference tables for counting and addition • Timed activities with countdown or stopwatch options • Save and share equation settings or student results • Support for multiple student profiles Optimized for the Latest Apple Tech • iCloud Syncing across devices • Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard support • Speech Input and Text to Speech • iPadOS 26 windowing for multitasking Whether you’re teaching in the classroom or practicing at the kitchen table, MathBoard Addition offers a focused and engaging way to build math confidence—one equation at a time.

Number Line helps students visualize number sequences and demonstrate strategies for counting, comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Choose number lines labelled with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, or negative numbers. Or use a blank number line, with or without tick marks. Describe intervals between points on the line using forward or backward jumps above and below the line. Jumps can be labelled with their values or left blank. Add custom tick marks to the number line to show equivalence or compare number values. Show strategies with drawing and annotation tools. Hide elements of the sequence shown on the number line, which challenges students to use what they know about number relationships and computation to identify those missing elements. This virtual number line is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPads. For more Number Line resources and other apps, visit: www.mathlearningcenter.org/apps FEATURES • Mark the number line with multiples of whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. In addition, set the starting value of the line, including using negative values. • Add and manipulate forward and backward jumps, above or below the line. • Label jump bars, manually or automatically, to show intervals or hide labels altogether. • Add custom tick marks and values to blank number lines. • Hide and reveal numbers on the number line. • Hide and reveal jumps, numbers, and other elements with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools. • Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
