TBoard vs Scratch Math!

TBoard is a typing-first AAC communication app for iPad. Select letters, words or pictures and hear them spoken aloud. Use a built-in letterboard, photograph a printed board, or build your own. Parents, family members and practitioners can use daily spelling lessons, worksheets and a gradebook on the same device. The full landscape AAC experience—letterboards, custom boards, lessons, worksheets, Practice, and Stats—runs on iPad and iPhone. Invited communication partners use Messaging Lite to stay connected with a speller's circle. TBoard carries the mechanics of a session—each step, the spelling, the board swaps and resets—so parents, family members, and practitioners can stay focused on the person, not the process. COMMUNICATE - The full 26-letter board, 3-stencil, QWERTY, and number layouts—big, steady keys designed for communicators with apraxia or motor differences. - Choose how the board responds: On Touch registers a key the moment a finger lands, visual, spoken, or haptic feedback confirms every selection, and Tap Guard ignores accidental double-taps. - Make the board you already use speak: photograph a printed core board, a picture board, or a paper letterboard and the photo itself becomes a board. Frame it, check the keys it read, fix a word or add a key, and every cell says its word when pressed. - Or build your own in the Board Builder with icons, labels, and your own photos—your layout, colors, and key sizes. - Read selected letters, words and typed messages aloud with text-to-speech, including Personal Voice on supported Apple devices. LEARN AND PRACTICE - Three new lessons every day—one per difficulty tier, formatted the way a spelling session flows. Read together, then answer questions, spelling, and math on the board; every answer is checked in real time as it's spelled, and the board can swap and reset for you. - My Lessons holds three kinds of work: Motor Lessons spelled on the board, Practice Worksheets with try-again support, and Graded Worksheets that land in the gradebook. Nine answer types—multiple choice, select all that apply, true or false, answer on the board, number, matching, ordering, open answer, and spelling—in the order you wrote them. - Build a worksheet by hand, or photograph one and highlight it—the passage, each question, its answer—and it plays as a lesson. Import from a photo, a PDF, or a file; text recognition stays on your device, and you review everything before saving. - A gradebook a teacher will recognize: one row per attempt, full, half, or no credit on written answers, notes, and an exportable report. The answer key stays hidden from the student unless you switch it on. - Warm up with Practice—short rounds that keep moving on their own and add help when the typing gets hard. - Progress you can trust: first-try answers, hints, retries, and per-letter accuracy. STAY CONNECTED - Exchange private messages with invited family members and practitioners in a communicator's circle. - Report a received message or block its sender from the conversation. - No public profiles, no feeds, no stranger discovery. TRY IT FREE, THEN BUY IT ONCE Try everything free for 7 days. Then one purchase unlocks TBoard for good—nothing renews, nothing to cancel. One purchase covers every communicator profile in a household and restores on any device signed in with the same Apple Account. Nothing is deleted while the app is locked. PRIVACY BY DESIGN TBoard has no ads and does not track you across apps or websites. Diagnostics are off until you opt in. Photos and documents you import stay on your device—only the lesson text you approve is saved to your account. Signed-in profile data is backed up so it can be restored, and you can delete your account and its data from inside the app. TBoard is a communication and educational tool. It is not a medical device or a substitute for professional care or speech therapy. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Scratch Math is a hands-on learning app built around how students solve math problems. Work through generated problems with a built-in scratch pad, explore fractions visually, and build algebra skills through interactive activities. Practice at your own pace with clear layouts, guided explanations, and room to work things out. Now available in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Thai, Arabic, Ukrainian, and Farsi (Persian). PRACTICE ACTIVITIES Choose a practice card and begin a focused 10-question round: - Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Long division - Fraction addition - Fraction subtraction - Fraction multiplication - Decimal Practice - Mixed whole-number practice Decimal Practice combines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in every round. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard, use the appropriate decimal separator, and open free hints for the current operation. SOLVE THE WAY YOU THINK - Write, carry, borrow, and cross out on the problem - Open fullscreen scratch mode for more working space - Pan, zoom, recenter, and clear your scratch work - Use familiar worksheet-style problem layouts - Enter answers with custom whole-number, fraction, and decimal keypads Scratch Math is a digital worksheet for active practice, with space to work through each question step by step. ALGEBRA PLAYGROUND Build understanding through five interactive activities: - Balance Equations — keep both sides equal while solving for x - Expression Tiles — group like terms and simplify expressions - Equation Stepper — choose valid moves and follow the equation - Function Machine — identify rules and complete input-output tables - Coordinate Graph — plot points and turn tables into graphs Algebra activities offer generated 10-problem rounds, difficulty choices, visual models, guided explanations, saved progress, and activity badges. VISUAL FRACTION PLAYGROUND Explore six hands-on activities: - Explore Fractions — connect fractions, decimals, and percentages - Fraction Bars — compare values and discover equivalents - Build Fraction — create the requested fraction - Fraction Detective — identify fractions shown by visual models - Equivalent Fractions — find values representing the same amount - Fraction Compare — choose less than, equal to, or greater than Explore Fractions and Fraction Bars support free exploration. The four scored activities offer 10-question rounds with feedback, summaries, badges, and replay. LEARN STEP BY STEP - Earn credits by answering Practice problems correctly - Spend credits to unlock worked solutions in Practice and Algebra - Use free operation-specific hints in Decimal Practice - Replay Practice explanations with clear steps - Review answers after each Practice round - See correct, incorrect, and assisted results separately PROGRESS THAT MATTERS - Track solved problems, accuracy, streaks, and perfect rounds - See dashboard progress for Practice categories and scored Fraction and Algebra activities - Unlock badges, including dedicated Decimal, Fraction, and Algebra badges - See newly earned badges at the end of supported rounds - Keep separate progress for up to four local learner profiles BUILT FOR FOCUS - Math activities work offline - No account required - Progress stored locally on your device - Reduced Motion support - Responsive layouts for phones and tablets - Seven languages, with right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Farsi Leaving an unfinished scored activity on mobile restarts it with fresh problems when you return. Completed results and saved progress remain. Scratch Math helps students practice, understand, and improve—one problem, one step, and one round at a time.
