Chalk & Math vs Reader Bee

Chalk & Math turns a classroom chalkboard into a math playground for kindergarten through 5th grade. Meet Professor Chalky, a friendly voxel teacher who draws every idea in grainy, hand-wobbly chalk and explains it in kid words. Pick a grade, pick a topic, then choose how to learn: LEARN IT - the big idea, drawn step by step on the board. SEE AN EXAMPLE - a fresh problem solved in front of you, one narrated step at a time. PRACTICE - rounds of 10 freshly generated problems, so there is always something new. Ask for a hint, scribble on the board with a finger, or tap "Show me how" and the Professor walks through that exact problem. 33 TOPICS ACROSS SIX GRADES KINDERGARTEN: counting (tap 3D voxel apples, blocks and stars), more or less, adding to 10, taking away, shapes GRADE 1: adding to 20 (make a ten), subtracting to 20 (number-line hops), tens and ones, telling time, greater or less (the alligator!) GRADE 2: adding and subtracting big numbers (carrying and borrowing), skip counting, counting coins, even and odd GRADE 3: multiplication (arrays), division (fair sharing), fractions, area, perimeter, rounding GRADE 4: big multiplication (area model), long division, equivalent fractions, adding fractions, decimals, factors (factor rainbows) GRADE 5: unlike fractions, multiplying fractions, decimal math, volume (a 3D voxel box that builds itself), order of operations, coordinate plane HANDS-ON MATH Kindergartners tap real 3D apples, blocks and stars to count them. Fifth graders watch a box o cubes build itself layer by layer to understand volume. Everything else is drawn in chalk: number lines, ten-frames, base-ten blocks, fraction pies, clocks, coins, arrays and graphs. BUILT FOR KIDS, EASY FOR PARENTS * Earn up to 3 stars per topic, saved on the device * Answer streaks and chalk-dust confetti keep kids going * A free Doodle Board with a box of colored chalk * Tap the Professor for a math joke; tap the chalk on the tray to change colour * No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no tracking * Works completely offline, so it is great for car rides and flights * Landscape play on phones and tablets Chalk & Math is made by PayneBrain, a small indie studio.

Reader Bee interactive apps and books engage the child in a rich fantasy world. The interactive sensory process helps the child build cognitive links making the learning experience more engaging and memorable. Reader Bee has the first ever Chunking Engine with Phonics Sound outs with animated examples. The Phonics Sound outs assist the child with their understanding of the building blocks of words. The Phonics Sound outs are always available to the child, so the child is able to attack new words without the assistance of an adult. This method can be used to teach children how to read in a faster more effective, fun way. This process takes ambiguity and unnecessary complexity out of learning. The Phonics Sound out feature is paired with animated examples of each word the child needs help with. This takes a lot of the pain out of the difficult process of learning new words, and makes learning to read faster and more intuitive. Reader Bee Chunking Engine with Phonics Sound outs makes the process of decoding words clear, fun and engaging. This helps children stay engaged in the learning process and boosts their confidence. We strongly believe that making the process of learning easier and more intuitive is the most effective path to growth in fluency and confidence in learning. We want all of our children to enjoy the process of learning. All of them deserve a smooth and stress-free transition to the fluent ability to read. The Reader Bee Method is the most fun a child can have learning to read.
