Mokulua Math vs Extra Credit

Mokulua Math is a beachside math adventure built by a dad, with characters inspired by his family's favourite characters and inspired by Lanikai's Mokulua Islands. Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with helpful hints and playful boss rounds. Behind the scenes, a carefully built learning system remembers which facts are known, which need support, and when to revisit each one to help learning stick. It also turns recent play into printable worksheets with answer keys. THE LEARNING SYSTEM • More than 1,100 facts, from small sums to sums in the hundreds and times tables 1 to 12, each tracked on its own. • Review uses spaced repetition built on the SM-2 algorithm. Most missed facts return a few questions later and again the next day. Known facts return at widening intervals, out to months. • Every answer is recalled and typed, never chosen from a list. After a miss, the right answer is shown and typed in, and a helper card can show one way to work it out. • Five levels per operation move up and ease back on their own. Times tables build in a deliberate order, starting with 1, 2 and 10 and saving the hardest 11s and 12s for last. • Levels, the review schedule and the Progress count are based on right and wrong answers, never on answer time. PRINTABLE WORKSHEETS Open Parents, then Worksheets. Each sheet has 40 questions built from the past month of play: a few tricky facts, repeated among related and familiar ones, plus a separate answer key. With few misses, it makes a balanced review sheet instead. Every sheet is a PDF made on the device, in A4 or US Letter, ready to save, share, or print. Worksheets unlock after a little play. PROGRESS In Parents, opened with a 4-digit code, Progress counts a fact as known once it is answered right at least 3 times and at least 7 times in 10. It also shows each math level and recent first tries. ON THE ISLAND Every 15 right answers, one of 20 friendly beach characters drops by for a boss round. Collect 80 stickers, unlock new pets, and gear up your favorite characters along the way. Works offline, so a little island adventure can come along anywhere. No ads, no purchases, no accounts, no data collected.

Extra Credit is four math games in one app: The Long Winter, Pushback, Sumhaven and Bloom. Pick a game on the first screen and play. In every game, the way forward is a math question, and right answers help you win. THE MATH: COMMON CORE, KINDERGARTEN TO 5TH GRADE Pick a grade and the first questions find your level. Levels open as fluency grows, or a parent or teacher chooses the question types for each student. When an answer is wrong, a picture shows how the problem works, such as a number line or a row of dots, and then you try again. Facts a child misses come back soon, so the practice goes where it is needed. A progress page shows which facts are solid and which still need work. The practice is aligned to the Common Core standards, and the progress page names the standard for each topic. THE LONG WINTER AND PUSHBACK: SNOWBALL SHOWDOWNS WITH MATH BREAKS Lead a team of snowmen in blue scarves in a giant snowball showdown. Slide your snowman launcher, send your snowmen through the gates and push the Red snowmen back across the snowy field. Every so often the match stops for a math break: a few math problems, one at a time. Right answers power up your snowmen for a while and bring a few more. - The Long Winter: a 100-level campaign across ten snowy chapters, each with a boss at the end; the bosses are big furry yetis. - Pushback: a snowball team game. Run the neon road, knock back the wobbly jelly Gloop and meet a big boss at the end of every world. - Gear Shed: spend coins on upgrades. In Pushback, find nine snow throwers, from the Snow Scoop to the Snow Blower. SUMHAVEN: BUILD A CITY, HATCH CREATURES Every right answer sets a block in a little harbor city. Build a bakery, a clock tower or a castle. Right answers also warm eggs, and every egg hatches a one-of-a-kind creature that moves into town and works in the buildings. Collect them in the Book, help them grow, and make friends with the wild creatures that sail in by boat. Later you can sail to new islands, Frostfin Cove and Coral Atoll, by answering math questions. Each island starts a new town with its own buildings and its own creatures. BLOOM: GROW A GARDEN Your little Sprout tree sits in a sunny garden while Gloomies drift in. Its petals turn each Gloomy into a flower that stays, and the music grows with every bloom. When the Sun meter fills, three math questions come up. Answer them, then pick a gift that makes your Sprout stronger. Right answers also fill a ring around your Sprout for a big burst of flowers. A miss never ends the game: you see how it works, try once more, and your Sprout still gets a gift. When it gets sleepy it takes a nap, and you see the garden you grew.
