SchoolGuard vs Simple math adventures

SchoolGuard is a mobile panic button app for K-12 school staff. In the event of an active school shooting emergency, a teacher or school staff member presses the main SchoolGuard panic button. As the app is dialing 911, an alert is immediately sent to the smartphones of all federal, state and local, ON and OFF duty, law enforcement officers who are in close proximity to the school and who belong to the Hero911 Network. Additionally, an intra-school alert is simultaneously sent to the smartphones of all school staff and a mapped location of the initial alert is displayed (mapping depends on cell coverage). SchoolGuard also alerts all other protected schools within a 5 mile radius of the initial alert. SchoolGuard is also listed in the AT&T FirsNet App Catalog as an emergency app for first responders. Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Math Adventure is a calm, colourful arithmetic game for children aged 6 to 9. No ads, no account, no internet needed — just practice and a bit of fun. TWO GAMES Number Chains Solve the sum on the big number pad. Get it right and confetti bursts, you earn a star, and the answer flies up to become the first number of the next problem. So 3 + 4 = 7 is followed by 7 − 2 = … a chain that keeps going, with your child building on their own last answer every time. Splitting Number bonds, the way they are taught at school: 10 = 4 + ? Pick 5, 10, or "surprise" (a random number from 3 to 10). The diagram shows the number breaking into two parts, and the side that is filled in keeps swapping, so both directions get practised. The goal is ten correct answers in a row, with a golden trophy at the end. GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD • Set the ceiling yourself, anywhere from 5 to 100. No answer ever goes above it. • Choose which operations come up: plus, minus, times, divide — one at a time or mixed together. • Settings are remembered, so you only have to get them right once. GENTLE WITH BEGINNERS A wrong answer costs nothing. The mascot gives a friendly little shake and your child can try again straight away. No time pressure, no countdown clock, no lives to lose, no "game over". In Splitting, stars already earned stay earned, even after a miss. FOUR LANGUAGES Dutch, English, French and Spanish, switchable in the settings. Useful for bilingual households and for children just starting a new language: they already know the maths, so the words fall into place on their own. FOR PARENTS • No advertising, ever. • No in-app purchases. You pay once and that is it. • No account, no sign-in, no email address. • No tracking and no analytics. The app collects nothing. • No internet connection required. Works in the car, on the train and in the waiting room. • No outbound links, no social media, no chat. Stars and settings are stored on the device and nowhere else. FOR IPHONE AND IPAD The whole app scales to the screen and works in both portrait and landscape. On an iPad the number pad sits beside the sum, comfortably within reach of small hands.
