Hands-On Math: Interactive Hundreds Chart creates a virtual math playground where students explore, investigate and discover mathematical concepts. Students use colored markers on the Interactive Hundreds Chart to represent patterns and number sequences. Using Hands-On Math: Interactive Hundreds Chart students can develop the following important mathematical concepts: Skip-Counting Number Patterns Multiplication and Division Facts Prime and Composite Numbers Least Common Multiple Divisibility of Numbers and more... An extensive Instructor's Guide for this app is available at the support website. Download the document and install it in iBooks to access ideas about how to use the Interactive Hundreds Chart for teaching elementary mathematics. Extremely easy for students and teachers to use. Tap a color and a marker, then tap numbers on the chart. To remove a marker simply slide it off the chart. Erase all markers by tapping the eraser. Note to reviewer: Simply slide a marker off the board to remove it. There is no need to erase entire board if you make a mistake.
Learning Math
This app helps children master multiplication tables through interactive exercises. It offers various practice modes and allows independent learning with clear task presentation and progress summaries.
- Individual times table practice
- Forward, backward, crosswise, and divided training
- Independent task control
- Progress summary for mastered tables
- Timed practice sessions
- Child-selectable practice numbers

Each times table will be presented individually. For every multiplication the division will be calculated. The children will be guided to work independently. The times table shown makes it easy to control each task independently at any time. Children choose the row that they like to practise on. They can choose between 4 training variations: forwards, backwards, crosswise or divided. They succeed when all 4 variations are done without any mistake. There will be a summary for the child to check which tables it manages well and others it does not do so well as yet. In the third section the aim is to train the already learned. The child will choose the numbers to calculate with and will also set a time to finish it. 5 minutes, 10 minutes or endless.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hands at 83% against Learning Math's 33%. Hands also leads on update cadence (every 8 months vs every 30 months). Learning Math's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Hands costs $2.99 and Learning Math $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Learning Math holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Hands's written reviews are positive against 33% of Learning Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hands ships an update every 8 months, Learning Math every 30 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
