Shapes+Geometry Skill Builders vs DragonMath KeyStage1 Reasoning

Shapes and Geometry practice for Primary School Age children. (THIS APPLICATION SPEAKS IN ENGLISH ONLY). _________________________________________________________________ The Shapes, Colours, Positions, and geometric properties are the foundation of mathematic geometry problem solving. It is essential that children quickly recognise basic shapes, and understand properties and geometric terms. Providing your children with access to learning materials and aids is increasingly important, and children these days learn quickly through interactive touch applications. This application has been designed for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch with that goal as the core of its design. Your children will have access to shapes and geometry skill practice and related problems whether at home or on the go, to help them build this essential skill. No internet connection is required. No subscription required. No silly games. The application contains progress charts, which help build their confidence in a friendly way, and encourages them to achieve their highest potential. _________________________________________________________________ The skill builders have been developed based on the national curriculum of the United Kingdom and other English speaking countries. Maths tuition around the world is broadly similar, and in all countries shapes and geometry are important. Typically children will be learning these topics between the ages of three and eight; they all learn at different speeds, so this age range is just a guide.

This Maths App addresses KS1 Reasoning. It has been prepared in conjunction with a separate KS1 Maths Arithmetic App to help prepare children for their KS1 maths exams which can be daunting for children and parents alike. The App has been designed to help the child develop confidence in answering questions similar to those in the KS1 exam. This App offers 9 key topics from the KS1 Maths Reasoning syllabus and allows the child to practise again and again. Like the other Dragon Maths Apps, this App keeps track of the child's progress and parents can review the results with their child to identify and discuss any weak areas. The topics covered are those from the UK Government's syllabus which includes: reading measurements, comparing measurements, money problems, pictoral addition, time telling & time problems, commutative laws, tables & charts, and number sentences. A little dragon friend helps brings the app to life by reacting to your child's answers (if answers are correct the dragon gets happy and excited, if incorrect the dragon gets a little sad but then offers advice), so bringing fun and help to encourage your child to persevere. Your child will get to choose their dragon, and watch it hatch with the aim of creating an attachment to the dragon so your child may be more motivated when practising exam level problems. An endless amount of practice will allow your child to develop at their own speed, building their knowledge and confidence with each of the types of question they can expect to see in the exam. All the exercises in this App have been designed to be attempted at a steady pace without timers or other pressures, this is to help your child appreciate there is no need to panic in an exam. The realistic option of skipping a question is also included and if the child skips a question they are given the correct answer. In keeping with all other Unit 11 Apps, this App does not have In App Purchases! Features: • Content specifically designed from the UK KS1 curriculum. • Nine topics covering the KS1 Maths Reasoning syllabus. • Progress Tracking – monitor how your child is getting along in each topic. • Specifically designed to offer a steady non-rushed pace to help avoid 'exam panic'! • A friendly baby dragon is there to help your child through these tests.
