Description

MathBoard supports iCloud Syncing, as well as Text to Speech, Speech Input, the Apple Pencil, Apple Magic Keyboard, Split Views and more.

MathBoard now supports iCloud Syncing, along with a host of other newer technologies, like Text to Speech as well as Speech Input, the Apple Pencil, Apple Magic Keyboard, Slide Over and Split Views and more.

MathBoard® is a highly configurable math app appropriate for all school aged children. Beginning in kindergarten, with simple addition and subtraction problems, through elementary school where learning multiplication and division can be a real challenge. MathBoard will allow you to configure the app to best match the abilities of your individual child/student.

More than just standard drills, MathBoard encourages students to actually solve problems, and not just guess at answers. This is done by providing multiple answer styles, as well as a scratchboard area where problems can be worked out by hand. Students can also turn to MathBoard's Problem Solver for further help. This powerful teaching feature walks students through the steps required to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations. Additionally, the included quick reference tables serve as a valuable learning tool.

Math Activities. These activities include Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math (a memory game). Each activity is based upon the current settings level, so the difficulty will vary based on the student’s knowledge.

Just what we were looking for

Having looked at just about every other app of this kind in the app store, this comes closest to perfect for our needs. The flexibility in setting quiz types, range of numbers, timings, operator types, etc. is immense, and allows us to tailor quizzes to exactly what is coming up in school.

The previous review claiming "misrepresentation" is a bit unfair, as the Apple ad (with no control by the app developer) shows the chalkboard being used to practice a problem, which is exactly what it was designed for. It would be unreasonable to expect accurate handwriting recognition of a child's handwriting, and would probably cause more frustration than anything.

If I were to criticise this app for anything, it would be that it's a bit dry. There is no recognition of, or reward for, improvement. A few simple badges, or even just words of praise for progress would encourage further practice.

Similarly, as of v1.6, while test results are recorded, there is no analysis of improvements in speed or accuracy over time. I'm sure the developer will get to this in a future version.

All in all though, the best in class for this type of app.

Regular crashes

Downloaded and tried it out only to find that it crashes on a regular basis

Really good app

My 5 year old daughter loves doing a few simple equations each day and I really feel its going to help her with her school work. But lease can we have an option to write the answer rather than tap them in as it would make it much more interactive as well as learning to write numbers, and tapping the screen takes up valuable time when they are trying to beat the clock!
