Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks provides an interactive learning environment for learning and enhancing mathematical concepts related to set theory, geometry, number theory, and logical thinking. 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. The skills learned are relevant to the elementary mathematics curriculum. Encourage your students to try Hands-On Math Attribute Blocks, and as they do you will see them get better at many basic math skills. Attribute Blocks offers 8 levels of difficulty. Younger learners will benefit from the settings where the challenge is to place blocks and determine the logical rules for which blocks are accepted and which blocks are rejected. For older students teachers may want to use some of the options where the challenge is to find a missing rule for a pattern or Venn diagram. Targeted Mathematical Development in the Following Areas: Set Theory - Sets, subsets, negations, union, intersection and Venn diagrams Geometry - Names and properties of shapes Number Theory - Sequences and patterns Logic and Reasoning - Solving logical problems using the scientific method, deductive reasoning Levels: Level 1: Shapes and Colors - Getting Familiar with Attribute Blocks Level 2: Classifying Shapes - Recognizing Similar Attributes Level 3: Classifying Shapes using Two Attributes - Recognizing Similarities and Differences Level 4: Logicial Patterns - Recognizing Differences to Develop a Pattern Level 5: 2 x 2 - Logical Problem Solving based on Attributes and Differences Level 6: 3 x 3 - Logical Problem Solving based on Attributes and Differences Level 7: Venn Diagram - Logical Relationships (Two Attributes) Level 8: Venn Diagram - Logical Relationships (Three Attributes)

A beginner number learning game for kids with developmental delays (autism spectrum disorder specially) and toddlers. Three sets of lessons (20 levels of 10 questions each). Total 600 questions. Set 1 (20 levels) focus on learning numbers/quantities. Set 2 (20 levels) focus on math addition & subtraction. Set 3 (20 levels) focus on math multiplication & division. Set 1 specifically. The first 10 teach the numbers 1-10. The second 10 levels teach 11-20. Also, 20 number jigsaw puzzles of varying complexity (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 & 6x6). Also, 20 number rotating puzzles of varying size and complexity (2x2, 2x3 and 4x6) with cool animations. The number questions include associated quantities of satellites in sequential and random order as the game progresses. As the child learns the numbers the associated satellites disappear and the become more varied. The goal is to teach the child that each number is associated with a quantity of objects, rather than simply memorizing the number. After each number lesson a bonus number jigsaw puzzle (of varying complexity from 2x2 to 6x6) is presented. Additional bonus level extensions include spinning puzzle and memory ‘Simon’ matches. After the jigsaw puzzle a rotating puzzle of varying size and complexity (2x2, 2x3 and 4x6) with cool animations is presented. The app includes lots of visual cues to help learn the numbers and keep the child’s interest. The app moves logically from easy to harder sets, however, the parent can also go to any level and setup feature such as restart from beginning or from where the child last left off. At the conclusion of all 20 sets a celebration screen appears with gold stars indicating the levels completed, confetti and more. Then app then moves to Stage 2, Math addition and subtraction for the next 20 levels. Once again, after the 20 levels the celebration screen appears and the app advances to Stage 3, Math multiplication and division. This is a multi-lingual (English, Croatian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian) spoken and written app. It defaults to the device’s language or you can pick a language in the setting window. More languages are in the works so feel to reach out and volunteer your native language if it isn’t included. Features Free and without advertising 1-10 numbers from simple to harder (10 levels-100 questions) 11-20 numbers in next 10 levels (100 questions) 20 bonus number jigsaw puzzles (from 2x2 to 6x6) 20 bonus rotating number puzzles (from 2x2 to 4x6) Advance stages that teach simple math (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division) Fun graphics and animations to keep the child interested Celebration screen with stars when all 20 levels are completed Teach numbers (symbols) and associated quantities (satellites) Sequential then random number questions as levels progress
