One step at a time. Basic cognition and basic math practice, at your child's pace. "Every other learning app moves too fast for my child." LittleSteps began with that worry, shared by so many parents. It's a learning tool designed for children with developmental delays, borderline intellectual functioning, or slower learning profiles — and for any child who simply learns more slowly than their peers — so they can work through basic cognition and basic math one careful step at a time. ■ Slow, but in the right direction LittleSteps isn't training children to answer quickly. It gives them room to think, to try once more, and to reach the answer on their own — building that experience up little by little. When small successes repeat, children gain confidence, and that confidence becomes fuel for the next challenge. ■ Design principles • Time to think — Nothing rushes an answer. If your child pauses or starts over, the screen simply waits. • Step-by-step hints — When your child gets stuck, the answer isn't handed over all at once. Support arrives in stages, so they can still finish it themselves. • Voice guidance — Questions and instructions are read aloud, so a child who can't read well yet can still practice on their own. • Sensory-friendly — Flashing screens, sudden loud sounds, and fast-moving characters have been deliberately removed. • One activity per screen — Only one activity appears at a time, to reduce distraction. • Real achievement instead of flashy rewards — Rather than sound effects and animations, what remains is the small success your child worked out for themselves. ■ Practice, stage by stage From basic cognition through multiplication, the practice is organized into 8 stages, so your child can move forward one step at a time from wherever they are now. • Basic Cognition — Learning Colors, Learning Shapes, Drawing Lines, Drawing Shapes, Connecting the Dots, Matching the Same, Matching the Opposite, Pattern Practice, Memory Game, Finding the Same Shape • Number Concepts — Learning Numbers, Writing Numbers, Counting, Counting by Tens, Number Matching, Learning Fractions • Clock, Calendar & Money — Telling Time, Reading a Calendar, Coins and Bills, Counting Money, Making Change • Number Relationships — Comparing Basics, Comparing Quantities, Odd and Even Numbers, Number Intervals, Number Interval Practice, Comparing Fractions • Before Addition — Composing Numbers, Decomposing Numbers, Number Bonds • Addition — Adding 1, 2, 3, Single-Digit Addition, Single-Digit Addition Practice, Carrying Practice, Column Addition • Subtraction — Subtracting 1, 2, 3, Single-Digit Subtraction, Single-Digit Subtraction Practice, Borrowing Practice, Column Subtraction • Multiplication — Times Tables Practice, Single-Digit Multiplication, Column Multiplication ■ Who is it for? • Families whose child keeps giving up because other learning apps move too fast • Parents supporting a child with developmental delays or borderline intellectual functioning • Homeschooling families who want to move through one stage at a time • Special education teachers and cognitive therapists looking for a classroom aid • Children just beginning to learn number concepts ■ Together with parents Practice records are saved automatically, so you can see at a glance where your child gets stuck and which stages have become familiar. Nothing pushes your child into the next stage — it's there to help you decide, yourself, when they're truly ready. This isn't practice in solving the fastest. There are no dazzling rewards. It was made for something else: a place where a child can stay at their own pace, and the moment when those small successes add up and they take the next step on their own. ■ Terms & Policies Terms of Service: https://littlesteps.everydaysummer.net/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://littlesteps.everydaysummer.net/en/privacy End User License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

MathTier

Read full description

What tier is your maths, really? MathTier is ten tiers of maths problems — Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, High School, Undergrad, Graduate — and a ladder you climb by actually being right. THE LADDER Every answer feeds a rolling window of your last 20 problems in that tier. Keep your accuracy up and the promotion gauge fills. At 100% a promotion trial opens: five problems from the next tier, four correct to move up. Fail and you lose nothing — your tier never goes down. This is a hobby, not an exam. ANSWERS COME WITH REASONS Every single problem gives you the answer AND a step-by-step explanation of how to get there. Not "the answer is 7" — the actual working, one line at a time, with the key idea stated plainly. Explanations are free for everyone, forever. An app that sells you the reason is an app that wants you to stay stuck. TEN TIERS, HONESTLY BUILT Kindergarten through Advanced High School are generated fresh every time, so you will not run out: counting, times tables, clocks, fractions, ratios, equations, factoring, Pythagoras, logs, trig, sequences, limits, derivatives, integrals, combinatorics. University and graduate tiers are hand-written — linear algebra, multivariable calculus, ODEs, series, complex analysis, discrete maths, real analysis, abstract algebra, topology, measure theory, functional analysis, probability. WHERE AM I? — 30-SECOND PLACEMENT A 15-question adaptive test finds your level and hands you a card that says it. SHARE THE CLIMB Every promotion produces a card built for posting — your badge, your rung on the ladder, your accuracy and streak. Story and square sizes, five themes. TRULY OFFLINE No account. No sign-up. No network calls of any kind. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Works in airplane mode, on a plane, in a tunnel. Your progress is yours and it stays on your device. FREE AND PRO Kindergarten through Middle School: unlimited, free. Daily challenge: free, the same ten problems worldwide. Higher tiers: five taster problems a day. MathTier Pro is one payment, forever — all ten tiers unlimited, the wrong-answer notebook, detailed statistics, unlimited placement tests, and every share-card theme. No subscription. Made for people who like maths the way other people like crosswords.
