Quotes from recent reviews: • "I am a teacher. I love this app! You thought of everything and put it in simple form..." • "As a teacher & parent, I think this is the Best Math Fact App yet. It has all 4 operations and allows you to choose exactly which #'s to drill" • “I have purchased many math apps for my 3rd grader and this is the one!!! It has everything I have been looking for. " • "...This is well worth the $0.99 which is cheaper than a single pack of flashcards..." This app's core concept was to create a flexible solution that a grade school child can easily navigate and that is robust enough to grow with your child as they grow their math knowledge. Overview – • FLASHCARD mode (practice) – Allows children to practice specific number sets and operators in the proven learning style of flashcards. Watch the flashcards flip like real flashcards! • CHALLENGE mode (exam) – Lets children test what they have learned by having to type in the answer • SIMPLE and FLEXIBLE – › Simple enough for your child to set and use › Flexible - Choose ANY combination of operators and number sets • PROFILES - Add unlimited number of profiles to monitor each child's progress • PROGRESS REPORTS! - Flexible reporting allows you to filter on numerous items to see your child's progress. › EMAIL Progress Reports - Ability to send your results to teachers, parents, or whoever! (Note: An active email account must be setup on the device to use this feature.) • ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION • NUMBER SETS - We designed the app to start at a beginner’s level, but the difficulty can be increased by changing the settings. When working on the number sets with the default settings you will only be adding 0-9 to the selected number set or multiplying each number set by 0-9. (with corresponding subtraction and division problems) In settings, you can change the range from 0-9, to 0-12, 0-15, or 0-20. • SETTINGS menu - › Settings are customizable for each profile. › Ability to change the range of numbers from 0-9, to 0-12, 0-15, or 0-20. › Ability to select the number of problems to work in Challenge mode › Ability to set whether missed problems are repeated › Ability to display a timer in Challenge mode • RESULTS menu – Results screen displays after completing a set: › Summary by operator and number set shows the number of items answered right and wrong › Detailed listing of any actual problems missed - Note: When the problems missed are listed, they are shown with what the correct answer should be, not with the incorrect answer typed by the user. This way the user can study the solutions and try to do better next time. › Timed results – Gauge your child's aptitude by reviewing the time to complete a number set. Encourage your child to “beat their time". **If you like "Math Fact Master", check out our fun math facts games: › Star Math › Mathopolis: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division

SUBTRACTION is a smart math app that teaches children how to subtract multi-digit numbers together. It monitors what the student knows and where they still need practice. It teaches step-by-step how to subtract small numbers and then progresses to multi-borrow subtraction. SUBTRACTION is encouragement-based providing positive reinforcement for the student's effort both visually and auditorily. The student, parents, and teachers can all quickly see where the student needs more practice in a color-coded format. Go from simple math facts like 3-1=2 to more difficult equations such as 904-795, with the app showing you the correct answer if you make a mistake. Full customization is possible including choosing the specific digit combinations you want to review or practice. Excellent for beginners just learning subtraction or a quick review for slightly older students. Students practice writing numbers too. AI converts the student's handwritten numbers into digits. Single-digit subtraction is free. Multi-digit subtraction with borrowing along with custom colors, specific numbers to learn, different character voices, and background music requires an in-app purchase. FEATURES ► Simple and visually appealing ► Make it as easy or hard as you want + 1-3 digit numbers + without borrowing + with borrowing + only practice certain digits or all of them ► Step-by-step instructions if a student wants + forces precise digit order into the correct fields + makes it impossible to move on with a wrong digit + with visual instructions for each entry ► Animated character with encouragement + completely optional for older students + 3 different voices ► Complete customization + specific numbers included or excluded + color design of screens + option to show the correct answer in case of an error + choices of optional background music + sounds/vibrations on right/wrong answers + moves to the next problem if the correct answer is input ► Intelligent + Remembers mistakes and helps practice for mastery ► AI-based handwriting Recognition + write the answers + great for practicing handwriting ► Feedback / Monitoring + Positive/Negative sound reinforcement + Summary of progress in both table and graph form + Easy for student/parent/teacher to monitor progress ► NO ADS, ALL FEATURES ENABLED TERMS & CONDITIONS: http://www.programisprime.com/subtractionterms.html PRIVACY POLICY: http://www.programisprime.com/subtractionprivacy.html WE LOVE FEEDBACK We appreciate your feedback.
