Math Galaxy Word Problems Fun vs Practice Logic

"Math Galaxy Word Problems Fun is an outstanding way to encourage students to practice word problems." See the rest of the review at: https://web.archive.org/web/20240605212456/https://bestappsforkids.com/math-galaxy-word-problems-fun/ Math Galaxy Word Problems Fun provides, in a game setting that's like a cross between monopoly and maze searches, a range of problems covering the core of elementary and middle school math: whole number operations fractions decimals multi-step problems ratios & proportions percents negative numbers time length area volume weight angles graphs & tables You and your fellow archaeologists have landed on Prospero's Island in the Mediterranean looking for lost treasure in underground caves and labyrinths. You each start with $25,000. If you collect all the treasures in a cave you get to own it, and can then charge any other player who lands on it a fee of $1000 for each cave that you own (for example, if you own 3 caves, they pay your $3,000). To enter a cave you must provide a secret code to open the cave door, which is the answer to a math problem. An onscreen calculator is provided, since the purpose is to understand the structure of word problems and not get mired in calculations. Because of the danger you are using ground-penetrating radar to guide a remote-controlled robot to dig through the caves. You must get to the treasures and out of the caves before the robot is destroyed by one of the many dangers: falling boulders, ice caverns, underground rivers and tubes left by some ancient civilization. Up to four players can play and the game continues as long as you want - you can set your own criteria for winning, e.g., when a player reaches a certain score - and you can save games. Regarding the complexity of the game, it’s basically like Monopoly. You earn spots on the game board (an island) by solving a maze at each spot and then players who land on your spots pay you. No explicit instructions on how to get to the treasures in a maze and get out are given - figuring out the mazes is part of the challenge.

Practice Logic is an app that will improve logical thinking! Logical skills are the ability to focus on the presented task by following the chain of the thought process by relating one statement after another, until finding the most logical conclusion. Logical thinking is a fundamental skill in todays society and work life in order to make decisions and act according to what makes sense rather than what feels right. It is also one of the fundamental skills needed for developers to code. Practice Logic consists of six levels that in different ways will train your logical thinking. You will practice logical reasoning and the ability to see patterns as well as spatial thinking and sequencing skills. The main audience for the app are kids in primary school, 4th to 7th grade (9-13 years), but it can also be used by older kids and adults. The different levels are built with randomly selected tasks and thereby gives endless of practicing possibilities. Within each level you can follow your improvement by seeing the number of completed tasks. If you have the logical thinking needed you will also notice the different colored lights that will change with regards to the improvements that has been made. Practice Logic is developed to be easy to use by children themselves. The app does not contain any advertisements or in-app purchases and it does not store anything online or collect any information about the user.
