Hands vs Tri This Math

Hands-On Math Number Balance provides an interactive learning environment for learning and enhancing addition and multiplication skills, and problem solving abilities. It is a perfect classroom tool for core mathematics instruction and enrichment. While using this app students will use mathematical thinking skills to solve randomly generated problems. Students will find the challenges solvable through interaction with the Number Balance. The skills learned are relevant to the elementary mathematics curriculum. Encourage your students to try our Number Balance, and as they do you will see them get better at many basic math skills. Number Balance offers 8 levels of difficulty. Younger learners will benefit from the settings where the challenge is to find a sum or product by balancing the scale. For older students teachers may want to use some of the options where the challenge is to find a missing addend, add a set of 3 or 4 numbers or find products. A comprehensive instructor's guide is provided and can be installed in iBooks. The guide gives lesson ideas and suggests activities for classroom teachers. Levels: Level 1: Numbers and Operations - Comparing Whole Numbers Level 2: Addition Skills - Basic Addition Facts - Whole Numbers from 1 to 10 Level 3: Addition Skills - Basic Addition Facts - Whole Numbers from 1 to 20 Level 4: Addition Skills - Focus on Problem Solving - Whole Numbers from 1 to 30 Level 5: Multiplication Skills - Multiplication Facts - Whole Numbers from 1 to 5 Level 6: Multiplication Skills - Multiplication Facts - Whole Numbers from 1 to 10 Level 7: Multiplication Skills - Focus on Patterns - Whole Numbers from 1 to 10 Level 8: Addition Skills - Three or More Addends - Whole Numbers from 1 to 10

Need to practice the four basic arithmetic operations? Need to practice creating number sentences with three numerals? Need to practice using 3 addends for sums to 20? Need to practice mixed operation number sentences with totals to 99? In each turn players are given four numerals. Each player has five turns. Use three of the four numerals and the basic arithmetic operations (+, -, x, ÷) to form an equation that equals any empty square (or one occupied by your opponent) on the game grid. The total for each number sentence is computed using standard order of operations.... multiply and divide (left to right) then add and subtract (left to right). Drag that total to the corresponding grid square. Your accumulated point total for each match is updated after each term and is the total of all the grid squares you occupy plus any BONUS points earned. You may not use an answer grid square you occupy, but you can ‘steal’ your opponent’s square. In that case, your score increases and your opponent’s score decreases by the same amount. Grid size options include 20, 25, or 50 squares. The numeric range for the grids includes 14 options: 1-20; 11-30; 1-25; 15-29; 1-50; 50-99 and others.
