Math Slide: tens & ones is a multiplayer game helping children understand numbers up to 100: 'tens' and 'ones'. Players play and learn by sliding tiles into the center to match an image, answer or equation. There are two modes or ways to play this game. Competition Mode is where the player who slides 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. Understanding tens and ones is a key math concept critical in a child’s development. 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 23 is 2 ‘tens’ and 3 ‘ones’ and that one more than 79 is 8 groups of ten. Features • Multiplayer game, suitable for one, two, three or four players • Games can be played in Competition Mode or Collaboration Mode • 10 games all focused on the same key math concept • All games can be played twice for free • Game 1 and Game 8 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 To work out if this app is at the right level of challenge try Game 1 and Game 8.
