Times Tables vs Math Slide

Little Monkey Apps Times tables provides the repetition required for the mastery of times tables with innovative presentation and delivery. No more 20 out of 20! Little Monkey App Times tables presents students with a random grid of 81 spaces asking multiplication questions from numbers 1 through 12. Unlike flash card methods, individual tables or multiple choices, students must use their knowledge to commit to a specific answer. Students complete each answer using the monkey calculator, promoting calculator skills as a bonus. Little Monkey Apps Times tables endeavours to provide support to students' individual capabilities. The pencil corrector enables them to 'peek' at the answers if they wish to measure their progress throughout the game. Beginning students will find this useful to check if they are on the right track. This feature also encourages self-correction and checking of answers. More confident students are able wait until they finish all 81 tiles. Little Monkey Apps Times tables measures progress through the achievement of speed and more importantly, accuracy. Students and parents can track progress through accuracy percentage and improvements to time, meaning improvements can be monitored on an individual basis rather than comparison to others. Little Monkey Apps Times tables challenges students to remain engaged to beat their own personal record through the acquisition of badges. Specific badges are awarded for targeted milestones such as speed, accuracy and 'not peeking'. Every student will want to continue to play to beat their own personal record and achieve these badges. Little Monkey Apps Times tables is an interesting, alternative delivery of mastering times tables content. You can now also play smaller grid games! A new practise game has also been added. This allows students to practise on a table at a time. Students simply tap the '?' beside the question to see the answer. Note the practise activity does not record badges. Times tables can be fun!

Math Slide: Place Value is a multiplayer game helping children understanding place value of numbers up to 1,000. Players play and learn by sliding tiles into the center to match an image, answer or equation. This School Edition can be used with Apple’s Volume Purchasing Program for Education VPP and contains the same games as Math Slide: tens & ones and Math Slide: hundred, ten, one. There are two modes or ways to play this game. Competition Mode is where the player who slides all their tiles into the middle first wins, or Collaboration Mode where all players slide their tiles into the middle at the same time, working together and winning together. Fully understanding hundreds, tens & ones is essential to progressing and succeeding at mathematics. Progressing from counting to using number facts and place value is difficult for many children. This app is specifically designed to help children make this critical progression, helping them ‘see’ and understand that 26 is 2 ‘tens’ and 6 ‘ones’ and that 7 ‘hundreds’, 11 ‘tens’ and 3 ‘ones’ is equal to 813. Features • Multiplayer game, suitable for one, two, three or four players • Games can be played in Competition Mode or Collaboration Mode • 20 games all focused on place value • All games can be played unlimited times • Each game is a little harder than the previous game • The app focuses on a critical math concept vital for success How to play 1.
