Math Bingo K vs Story Problems

Math Bingo K-3 is a two player game that provides practice in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and other math skills. Twenty different levels of problems can be selected. The levels are keyed to the Common Core Standards and are identified by standard numbers. Within each of the levels problems are randomly generated so every game is a unique experience. Players begin by sitting opposite each other with the iPad between them. The first step is to use a slider to select a marker for each game board. Once both players tap the go button, the game begins. A problem is displayed on the screen and the player marks the answer on the game board. The first player to get five in a row wins the round. This app is appropriate for elementary age students who are in the primary grades or upper grade students who need more practice to improve math skills. • This app does not include third-party analytics. • This app does not include third-party advertising. • This app does not share data with any third parties. • This app does not collect any user or device data.

Story Problems uniqueness comes from the ability to use fun animals as manipulatives to aide in solving simple story problems. Students can choose to solve addition or subtraction story problems. For an extra challenge, mixed story problems are included. Choosing this game mode will allow students to use higher level thinking skills to first determine whether the problem calls for them to add or subtract. They can then use the manipulatives to help solve the story problem. To allow for differentiation, a range of numbers can be selected that will then be used within the story problems. Story Problems will read the problem to the student. This helps those younger students that may need a little extra support with this skill. Students may enter their name into the game and the game keeps track of their results. Results are recorded by date, number correct and game type. This is a great way for parents and teachers to check for understanding and then reteach where necessary. Story Problems targets children in Kindergarten to Second Grade. It uses the common core standards in Operations and Algebraic Thinking for each of these grades. K.OA.A.2, 1.OA.A.2, 2.OA.A.1
