Math Slide vs Reading Numbers

Math Slide: Place Value is a multiplayer game helping children understanding place value of numbers up to 1,000. Players play and learn by sliding tiles into the center to match an image, answer or equation. This School Edition can be used with Apple’s Volume Purchasing Program for Education VPP and contains the same games as Math Slide: tens & ones and Math Slide: hundred, ten, one. There are two modes or ways to play this game. Competition Mode is where the player who slides all 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. Fully understanding hundreds, tens & ones is essential to progressing and succeeding at mathematics. 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 26 is 2 ‘tens’ and 6 ‘ones’ and that 7 ‘hundreds’, 11 ‘tens’ and 3 ‘ones’ is equal to 813. Features • Multiplayer game, suitable for one, two, three or four players • Games can be played in Competition Mode or Collaboration Mode • 20 games all focused on place value • All games 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 How to play 1.

Help your child move beyond simple rote counting to true mathematical literacy! Little Monkey Apps Reading Numbers helps early learners (ages 4–7) recognise, read, spell, and order numbers and number words from 0 to 20. Rote counting ('1, 2, 3...') is only the first step. To build a solid foundation for elementary arithmetic, children must connect three distinct representations: 1. The spoken word ('fourteen') 2. The written numeral (14) 3. The written word ('fourteen') and its concrete quantity. For young minds, teen numbers (11–19) present unique linguistic hurdles. Unlike predictable numbers such as twenty-four or sixty-five, teen numbers do not follow a straightforward left-to-right naming pattern, and numbers like 14 are frequently misread as 'forty-one' or 'one-four'. Reading Numbers bridges this gap through multi-sensory, hands-on learning. ================================== 8 RESEARCH-BACKED LEARNING MODULES ================================== 1. MAGNETIC NUMBERS Place jumbled numbers back into their correct sequence on the 1–10, 11–20, or 1–20 grid. Tap refresh or shake your device to reset the board! 2. LINE MATCH Draw direct connections between numerals and their matching written number words across 3 progressive difficulty levels. 3. ORDERING Arrange scrambled number words on a vertical ladder from smallest to largest, reinforcing ordinal sequence and comparative magnitude. 4. OBJECT MATCH Count colourful fruit illustrations and match concrete quantities with the corresponding numeral digit. 5. OBJECT MATCH II A multi-target counting challenge: match multiple numeral tiles simultaneously to their matching groups of objects. 6. WORD PUZZLE Unscramble individual letter tiles to spell out number words. Level 3 introduces distractor letters to foster genuine phonemic and orthographic recall. 7. NUMBER PUZZLE Solve two-part association cards by matching numeral tiles, quantity groups, and written number words into unified puzzle frames. 8. LISTEN & TAP (NEW!) Listen to natural voice prompts and tap the matching number word. Features repetition on demand to sharpen auditory discrimination and word recognition. ================================== DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOMS & DIVERSE LEARNERS ================================== • 4 CLASSROOM FONTS: Choose between School Print (clean manuscript), School Handwriting, Dyslexia-Friendly Reading Fluency (Lexend spacing to reduce visual crowding), and Playful Cartoon. • DUAL ACCENT AUDIO: Select authentic Australian (AU) or British (UK) voice narration, or switch to Quiet Classroom Mode for silent work periods. • ADAPTIVE MASTERY: The app dynamically monitors learner hesitation and mistakes, subtly giving extra reinforcement to tricky teen numbers. • 3 PROGRESSION LEVELS: Activities scale seamlessly from 1–10, to 11–20, to 0–20 including the vital concept of zero. ================================== TEACHER & PARENT APPROVED ================================== • 100% AD-FREE & SAFE: Zero advertisements, zero third-party tracking, and no hidden subscriptions. • OFFLINE ACCESSIBLE: Perfect for school iPad carts, road trips, and airplane rides without needing Wi-Fi. • MULTITASKING SUPPORT: Fully supports iPad Split View and Slide Over for seamless classroom station integration.
