Read full description

Experience the fun of inspiration by touching numbers and shapes! "Inspiration Math Village" is an app that develops thinking skills and inspiration through various mathematical questions such as number sequences, shapes, calculation problems, and inspiration problems. There are various problems such as problems related to numbers, problems related to area, problems related to length, problems related to number sequences, and problems that require inspiration and make you think. Every time you arrive at the correct answer, your interest in numbers and mathematical sensibility will naturally be cultivated, and it is also effective in improving your thinking ability. As you work on the problems, you will naturally become familiar with numbers and formulas, and your logical thinking skills and intuitive sensibility will be cultivated. From children to adults, you can learn while having fun with a sense of play, and you can have a new experience that connects "learning" and "inspiration". There is also a hint function that can be used when you get stuck on the way, so you can proceed by using it. Make math more familiar and more fun. We hope that it will give people who are not good at math an opportunity to like it. How It Works: ・Tap the start screen to access a list of questions. ・Solve problems in order; each one unlocks the next. ・All answers are entered using numbers. ・A hint system is available if you need a nudge. ・Your progress is saved automatically, so you can continue anytime. How far can you go? Take the challenge and rediscover the fun side of math.

About

Dumpling Garden Practical Math

Features
Read full description

A tiny village of animal friends is hungry, and running it takes real math. Dumpling Garden looks like a cozy farming-and-cooking game: plant seeds, steam squishy buns, run a market stall, build little houses. Underneath, every one of those chores is a genuine grade 3-5 math problem. Seeds go into the ground as multiplication arrays you can count. Steamer trays fill up in fractions. The market bill needs totalling, and the change needs counting back coin by coin. A house plan's width and height become a build order - perimeter for the planks, area for the roof tiles, division (rounded up!) for the paint. The village grows as the math gets done. Cooking a villager's favourite dish earns coins; coins buy blueprints and lumber; a finished house means a new friend moves in, joins the market queue, and starts posting orders of their own. Fifteen skills, five difficulty rungs each: the game climbs when your child is on a streak and quietly steps back down after a rough patch, so it stays just-hard-enough by itself. And mistakes? A wrong answer earns a sympathetic head-tilt from a little sprout, a hint that shows the problem a second way, and another try. There are no timers on thinking, no lives, no failure screens - this is a village, not an exam. What's NOT in the game matters as much as what is: no ads, no purchases, no account, no internet connection, and no data leaving the iPad. Sibling profiles keep two villages separate, and anything sensitive hides behind a question only grown-up arithmetic can answer. Every feature in this game was playtested by one very opinionated eight-year-old, and the best ones were her idea.
