*** Used by many schools around the world *** Knowing how to tell & read time and calendar is a very important skill. Being able to tell time by looking at a traditional clock and at a digital clock is essential to understanding other things like time zones and international times as well. Learning how to tell time can also help kids with their motor and cognitive skills as well as mathematical skills. Many educators feel that the earlier the age of the child, the better. “Telling Time – It’s Easy” is the most comprehensive app, designed for children ages 6 to 11, to study telling / reading time and calendar, and other related topics. “Telling Time – It’s Easy” covers following topics / concepts / terms: * Reading / telling time in words and setting the traditional analog clock by moving the hour and minute hands, and listening to the time * Matching analog and digital clocks * Matching time in words and analog & digital clocks * Reading calendar and solving the problems * A.M. / P.M. * Seasons of the Year * Months of the Year * The days of the Week * The number of Days in each Month The app is designed to have a fun during learning process, so your kids will love this app. Attention Australian customers: many real questions on NAPLAN numeracy test (Year 3) are very similar to the questions in this app, so your kids can be prepared!

The EquationSolver is carefully designed to be a simple and elegant app. Easy to use, easy to understand, simple and effective It solves system of linear equations, simultaneous linear equations (no limit on the number of equations). It also teaches you the steps to solve such systems. To find a solution, it uses Matrix inversion method or LU decomposition method when inverse is not possible or complicated. The equations are beautifully presented in both: 1) Set of individual equations form 2) Matrix-vector product form. You can also share the beautifully written solution It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This is a perfect app if you are a student learning to solve these kind of equations. There is also a Study page to help you with learning some important linear algebra formulas. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!
