Finger Numbers vs 1st Calc

Finger Numbers is a motivating learning app that builds rapid quantity recognition (quasi‑simultaneous subitizing) and a robust sense of number and operations for early math. This release is a complete technical rebuild with expanded content—designed for children, parents, and teachers. What children practice: - Recognizing quantities at a glance and matching them with finger touches - Automating number decompositions, complements to 10, and strategies like the “Power of 5” - Moving fluently between representations (fingers, dots, mixed) Game and practice modes: - Basics: Fingers, Dots, Mixed - Pattern Recognition: structured arrangements - Calculation Strategies: Power of 5, complements to 10, How many are missing?, decompositions - Two Hands: cooperative/competitive split‑screen number decomposition - Jump and Run: an action mini‑game controlled by finger numbers Adapt to each learner: - Flexible number range from 3 to 10 fingers (start with 3-5 Fingers for learning the input) - Time pressure can be enabled/disabled as needed - Visual aids and flash‑view controls - Multi‑user profiles with individual progress; Guest mode without recording For teachers - Diagnostic reports with solution times, success rates, and strategy insights - Protected area to review learning progress - AI‑powered summaries with didactic guidance Note: On iPad, system gestures (e.g., 4–5‑finger gestures) may interfere with multi‑finger input. Consider disabling multitasking gestures in system settings if needed. Languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified)

„1st Calc“ is an Abacus-style bead frame, that helps primary school children to discover numbers up to 100. It provides them with a visual tool to play with numbers and lets them solve addition and subtraction problems. It is based on the latest math-teaching knowledge and its use contributes significantly to avoid any mathematical disabilities at an early stage and counteract this. „1st Calc“ is an invaluable tool harvesting the children's motivation to use the iPad or iPhone and makes up with a more fun learning experience. FEATURES · Selectable range of numbers: 0 - 20 or 0 - 100 · Bead frame for children · Choose between 4 different colors · Optional live cam view as background We will provide you with further updates. "1st Calc" will then be able to generate addition and subtraction problems, to guide the child through the solution process and to control and diagnose the child's input.
