Big Math vs Learn to Read Autism ADHD

Big Math is an iPad app for elementary school children to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of big numbers. It has both portrait and landscape orientation. It has a dolphin theme, and when the child has finished a set of problems, a dolphin sound (whistle, scream, yell or motorbike) is heard. The child starts by picking what he or she wants to work on in the Settings screen of the app. Settings options include: * Entering a name and message for the child who will be using the app. The name and message show up throughout the app. * Entering the options for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division. For addition, the child can add 2 numbers, either 2 digit or 3 digit, or 3 numbers, either 2 digit or 3 digit. For subtraction, the child can subtract either 2 digit or 3 digit numbers. For multiplication, the child can multiply 2 digit or three digit numbers. For division (long division), the child can divide with a 1 digit, 2 digit, or 3 digit divisor. The app allows regrouping, where the child can "carry" in addition, multiplication, and division or "borrow" in subtraction and division. The child can elect to have problem sets timed. Once the settings are set, the child goes to the area he or she wants to practice (Big Add, Big Subtract, Big Multiply, or Big Divide), selects the number of problems to do, and starts doing Big Math! Dolphin sounds are courtesy of Dolphin Encounters in the Bahamas! Try it and enjoy!

FROM THE AUTHOR OF MULTIPLE EDUCATIONAL BOOKS Over 20,000 Copies Sold Worldwide - 4.5 Rating "In our personal experience, my son's reading skills improved dramatically with consistent daily practice over one month. Traditional apps overwhelmed him with animations and distractions. He needed something different—focused, predictable, effective. So I created this app based on the same methodology from my books, now used by thousands of families and special education schools across Germany. Individual results vary greatly." - Bastian Schroeder, Educational Author & Parent ----- WHY IT'S DESIGNED FOR NEURODIVERGENT LEARNERS ONE TASK AT A TIME No cognitive overload. Each lesson focuses on a single skill-pattern recognition, phonics, or sight word mastery. PREDICTABLE ROUTINE Simple swipe mechanic (left = correct, right = incorrect) reduces anxiety and builds confidence through repetition. MINIMAL SENSORY INPUT No flashing animations. No sudden sounds. No distracting characters. Clean interface lets your child focus on learning. SELF-PACED LEARNING No forced time pressure (except optional speed challenges). Your child learns at their own pace without stress. TEXT-TO-SPEECH SUPPORT Every word can be spoken aloud, helping children connect written and spoken language. OPTIONAL ENGAGEMENT Subtle motivation through bubble collection and whale feeding - it's optional, not forced. ----- RESEARCH-BACKED LEARNING APPROACH PHONICS FOUNDATION Teaches letter sounds and blending - a research-backed approach to reading instruction. HIGH-FREQUENCY SIGHT WORDS Master the most common words. SPACED REPETITION Words reappear at optimal intervals to move knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. ----- 4 PROGRESSIVE LEVELS Level 1: PATTERN RECOGNITION Match words visually. Builds confidence and familiarity. Level 2: TIMED RECOGNITION Same as Level 1, but the target word shows for only one second. Strengthens visual memory. Level 3: INDEPENDENT READING Read the word, verify with text-to-speech, and honestly assess if you read it correctly. Builds self-advocacy skills. Level 4: LISTENING COMPREHENSION Hear the word, swipe through options until you find the matching written word. Connects spoken and written language. ----- DESIGNED FOR SCHOOLS & HOME USE - No ads—ever - No in-app purchases - No data collection or tracking - No account required - No social features - Works offline - One-time purchase, lifetime access - Safe for classroom use WHO THIS IS FOR - Children with autism who are overwhelmed by traditional apps - Kids with ADHD who struggle to focus on busy interfaces - Learners with sensory processing differences - Students who need predictable, structured routines - Any child who benefits from distraction-free learning If your child benefits from a different approach to learning, this app may be a good fit. It's built differently because it's built for different learners. ----- DEVELOPED BY A PARENT FOR HIS AUTISTIC SON I didn't build this app to compete with big companies. I built it because my son needed something that didn't exist - a reading app that respects how autistic and ADHD learners actually process information. The result: In our personal experience, his reading skills improved significantly within weeks of consistent practice. Schools in Germany now use it with their special education students. And I'm sharing it with families worldwide because I know we're not alone in this journey. If you're looking for another gamified, animated, character-driven app, this isn't it. But if you're looking for something designed to help your child learn to read without overwhelming them, you're in the right place. ----- Download now and give your child the focused, distraction-free reading practice designed for their learning style.
