If you are looking for an easy app for your students to build their math fact fluency or automaticity, this is a great way to start.
Application Name: Math Study Buddy
Publisher: MLK Apps
Available for Free via the Amazon App store
Goals: Math Fact Automaticity
Summary: Practice with multiple difficulties from simple to very hard. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and Division. Great for all ages. This is a great app to test out how to use a flash card based app, but it would be worth a few dollars of investment or further investigation to find an APP that would store and provide statistics on progress towards master.
Strengths: Multi Age level application
Ability to choose 3 settings:
math operation, range of numbers to use: 1-10, or 1-25, or 1-50, or 1-100; level of difficulty
verbal confirmation when correct response given, visual check mark given for correct answer, prompt given "try again" if incorrect response, visual red x shown if incorrect response, ability to continue for as long as desired
Weaknesses: no statistics kept on progress, not able to set limit on number or problems per set, when an incorrect response is given, incorrect answer still appears as a possible answer.
