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.
