1x1. Lite
Read full descriptionHide full description
1x1 helps to teach children how to multiply the numbers from 1 to 10. The app doesn't use any words, so it can be used by children in any language. The app has been tested by teachers — you will find the references inside the app, under "references". This version shows the multiplication sign as a dot: 3 · 4. There is also a version with a cross (3 × 4), called "1x1..". This is the Lite version: the first three games of every level are free. If you like the app, one single in-app purchase unlocks all nine games — a one-time purchase, and it works with Family Sharing. The app has eight levels, from BEGINNER to INSANE. Each level has nine games, its own tasks and its own trophy — 72 games and eight trophies in all. By the end of the level HARD, all 100 multiplication tasks from 1×1 to 10×10 have been practiced; CHAMPION and INSANE are an extra challenge on top. Our apps are based on a modification of the Leitner system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashcard This means that a task comes back until the child answers it correctly. The app also remembers every task the child has ever got wrong and brings it back later. This is how the answers stay in the child's memory, so real learning happens. Under the equation the answer is also shown as a picture: in a field of a hundred dots, as many light up as the result of the task. A child who does not know the answer yet can count them. If the child answers all the tasks of a game correctly, the game is finished, and the next game opens only when the score is high enough. Every game can earn up to three stars. To earn the third star, the child has to play the game again, this time without the help of the dots. • Eight levels with nine games each, and a trophy for every level • Every player has their own name, their own scores and their own settings • Two settings per child: how many different tasks one game holds (easy, medium or hard), and how often a task comes back • A row of diamonds shows how many tasks the game holds • The scores can be reset, so that a child can repeat the lessons later, or another child can do the exercises • No advertising from third parties • No account and no registration • Links out of the app only behind a parental gate Please note that our apps are real educational apps, made, among others, for the classroom and for homework. In our apps the education is more important than fun. Our apps are more like doing homework than playing a game, so finishing them can be some work for a child. It might be helpful if the parents or teachers support the child's motivation. The reward for the work is that the child will master all multiplication tasks up to 10×10 without any problems. We would very much appreciate any feedback from you: info@creasoft.app

Developed with students and teachers, this versatile app is used to improve spelling skills and to learn new words in foreign languages. The clear design and the simple structure of the program help to progress efficiently. The words you wish to exercise with are to be entered first. The app provides eight different exercises to learn the entered words. These include drag& drop exercises with letters, dictation, or recognizing the word in various forms (mirrored, with missing letter, partially obscured). These exercises vary in difficulty. Points are awarded to the words when the correct answer is entered, according to the difficulty of the exercise. Once a word has been awarded 100 points, it is accepted as „learned“, and removed from the active list of words. The light version is limited to 2 lists with a maximum of 10 words. With in App Purchase you can add the following features: Multiple lists of words can be defined to allow several students to exercise with the same device, or to make various lists of words according to subjects / languages. Unlimited number of words for each list. Password protection allows a teacher to observe the student‘s progress and requires a password to delete unlearned words.
