This FREE app for iPhone/iPad Helps kids practice their basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. First kids choose numbers (1-12) to work with, then the math operation/operations. The app generates practice in 2 modes: answer mode (enter the answers & get feedback) or flashcard mode (answer verbally then check). The game has no built-in sounds but there is positive reinforcement written at the top of the page. If a child misses a problem, it shows the correct answer. What I really like about this app is the ability to choose specific numbers to work on. Facts can be practiced in the order they are taught. I also like the ability to choose more than one operation to practice – it makes kids pay attention to the signs of operation and see the relationships between operations. This app is simple but effective – if you loaded this app on your iPhone, kids could easily practice flashcards on their way to after school lessons 🙂
Common Core Standards met:
- 1.OA.6 – Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10.
- 2.OA.2 – Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
- 3.OA.7 – Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

I just want to thank you for taking the time to review our application, Chalkboard Math.
I think that this a great blog/resource for teachers – and I really like how you mention which Core Standards the apps help meet/address.
Version 1.01 of the app (approved earlier this week) does include sound – with the app speaking out load both the problem and positive feedback. And, we have plans to keep on enhancing Chalkboard Math to make it both more fun to use, as well as helping to address additional Core Standards.
Thanks,
