Tricksy is a universal app that allows you to solve many math operations in a simple way, by applying untraditional techniques. This app includes more than 60 lessons classified into these domains: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentage and power. These lessons are presented in levels, arranged from the easiest lesson to the most difficult one. Each of these lessons is explained in a simple and clear way; using steps supported by examples. Besides the lessons, tricksy includes some useful tools for calculation, in which students can benefit, and may apply them during their school domain. ~The included tricks are: ▸ Addition: • Adding two-digit numbers like ab + ba • Adding 2 fractions like 1/a + 1/b • Adding a sequence of odd numbers beginning by 1: 1 + 3 + 5 + … + 2n-1 • Adding a sequence of even numbers beginning by 2: 2 + 4 + 6 + … + 2n • Adding a sequence from 1 to any number and back to 1 again: 1 + 2 + 3 +…+ X +…+ 3 + 2 +1 • Adding a sequence of doubles: X + 2⋅X + 2²⋅X + 2³⋅X + ... + 2ⁿ⋅X ( Locked ) • ... ▸ Subtraction: • Subtracting two-digit numbers like ab − ba • Subtracting 2 fractions like 1/a − 1/b • Subtracting 2 fractions like c/a − c/b • Subtracting 2 fractions like (a − 1)/a − (b − 1)/b • Subtracting three-digit numbers like abc − cba ( Locked ) • Subtracting the squares of two numbers differing by 2: X² − (X−2)² ( Locked ) • ... ▸ Multiplication: • Any number × 5 • Two digit number × 11: ab × 11; a + b < 10 • Two digit number × 11: ab × 11; a + b ≥ 10 • Any number × 9 • The repeated #1s × the repeated #9s having the same # of digits: 111..1 × 999..9 • The repeated #1s × 12: 111..1 × 12 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 13: 111..1 × 13 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 14: 111..1 × 14 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 15: 111..1 × 15 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 16: 111..1 × 16 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 17: 111..1 × 17 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 18: 111..1 × 18 ( Locked ) • The repeated #1s × 19: 111..1 × 19 ( Locked ) • Consecutive decade ending in 5: a5 × b5; b = a + 1 ( Locked ) • Two 2-digit numbers with same 10s digit: ab × ac; b + c = 10 ( Locked ) • Two 2-digit numbers with same 10s digit: ab × ac; b + c ≠ 10 ( Locked ) • Two 2-digit numbers with same 1s digit: ab × cb; a + c = 10 ( Locked ) • Two 2-digit numbers with same 1s digit: ab × cb; a + c ≠ 10 ( Locked ) ▸ Division: • Any number ÷ 5 • Any number ÷ 50 • Any number ÷ 25 • Any number ÷ 250 • Any number ÷ 125 • Repeating 3-digit number ÷ 37: aaa ÷ 37 • Any number ÷ 40 ( Locked ) • Any number ÷ 15 ( Locked ) • Any number ÷ 35 ( Locked ) ▸ Percentage: • 50% of a number • 25% of a number • 20% of a number • 33.33...% (33⅓%) of a number • 5% of a number ( Locked ) • 2.5% (2½%) of a number ( Locked ) • 40% of a number ( Locked ) • 60% of a number ( Locked ) • 70% of a number ( Locked ) • 75% of a number ( Locked ) • 45% of a number ( Locked ) • 15% of a number ( Locked ) • ... ▸ Power: • Number made up of 1s: (111..1)² ; number of digits < 10 • Number made up of 3s: (333..3)² ( Locked ) • Number made up of 6s: (666..6)² ; 1 < number of digits ( Locked ) • Number made up of 9s: (999..9)² ; 1 < number of digits ( Locked ) • Two digit number beginning with 5: (5a)² ( Locked ) • Two digit number ending with 5: (a5)² ( Locked ) Challenge your brain to think efficiently while having fun with our smart math tricks ! -------------------------------------------- Follow Us on Facebook: TricksyApp & Twitter: @hassantaleb90
Master Math Fun

Learn math with your specific settings. Adjust min and max of every available operation. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, dice-counting and even candy counting for the youngest! To add to your kid motivation - there is a pet minigame that you as a parent can make available every x correctly solved equations. This is proven itself to be great motivation for kids to keep solving and actually want to learn. Additional settings module enables repetition to happen after wrongly solved equation in order to make problematic ones stick to child memory. Lite version is limited to 15 minutes a day, there is a link to full version within the app, but feel free to use Lite version daily, Repetition is key!
