My Math Cards puts 400 flashcards in the palm of your hand.
This game and "education utility" was co-designed with 5th grade Math teacher and PAST Foundation Fellow, Steve Lewis (aka The Mighty Mathemagician). The purpose: To help students across the country improve their basic and advanced addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills.
Experts agree that students need to have mastered their basic math skills by 7th grade or their future success in math becomes highly problematic.
This app can help students to return to math and science classes prepared for higher order problem-solving rather than being bogged down with basic practicing and drilling.
This app can also help teachers to engage, unify and guide their classrooms in stimulating and participatory project-based play, which will serve to develop their students application of math in everyday, practical life skills.
Steve made sure that this app aligns with the Common Core Standards principles to help each student obtain a mastery of math language. (Thats what they do at the PAST Foundation.org)
As parents and teachers, our job is to properly share how the world works. To do this, as a culture and community, we need to provide every child with the right digital tools to excel and create a foundation for success.
