Number Wheels are fun, fascinating and teach multiplication tables. Does NOT work on IPAD. Number Wheels use a number line to 10, which is bent into a circle. This number wheel views the cool patterns that are inherent in math. It is like putting on 3-D glasses and suddenly simple and beautiful patterns show up: Stars, Pentagons, Decagons, Yo-Yo lines, and 10 pointed Stars. Kids love creating them, adding on a playful calculator, and learning what multiplication is and how it works. They are rewarded by fireworks, fun sounds, and kid's voices. The 3-D look at the digits allow kids to put together and own the times tables. It makes it a awesome game to learn the times tables because kids connect addition and multiplication. Number Wheels are a great place to have discussions about numbers for kids and adults. Many adults find the wheels as interesting as kids do. Watch MisterNumbers animated math videos on Youtube (over 500,000 views). The Right Brain approach has helped many kids who have a negative attitude about math or numbers. Wheel Math is a revolutionary and positive introduction to math for young kids.

Ten Frames — math with smiles Educational math app for children aged 4–7, built around the Ten Frames method. Short, cheerful sessions a child can play independently — no reading required. About the method: Ten Frames is a foundational visual learning tool — a simple frame of 10 cells used to teach early number sense. The method itself is included in mathematics curricula around the world. Children learn to instantly recognize quantities through visual grouping: a filled row is always 5, a full frame is always 10. These benchmarks become anchors for all future mental math. The result: stronger number sense, faster mental arithmetic, less math anxiety. What it covers: • Counting to 10 • Addition and subtraction within 10 • Pairs that make 10 • Doubles • Fair sharing • Visual memory • 9 Adventure worlds, 82 levels Made for little learners: • A level is 5 problems and runs 2–4 minutes — a full session fits before dinner • Voice narration in English, Romanian and German, so children who cannot read yet play on their own • 10 visual themes children choose themselves (Space, Ocean, Forest, Farm, Candy, Unicorn, Pixel, Slime, K-Pop, Monsters) • 36 stickers and 14 achievements keep effort rewarded, never punished — a wrong answer costs nothing • A parent dashboard to follow stars, streaks and progress Made for parents: • No accounts and no sign-up — hand your child the iPad and they start • Nothing leaves the device.
