MathTables is a powerful and fun twist to learning arithmetic. With normal math problem tables you need to provide the answer to the problem. With MathTables there is a twist, both the problem and the answer are provided, you just need to match the answer to the correct problem. Math tables is perfect for any level of learning or any age of student.
MathTables is configurable to quiz you with 12, 20 or 30 problems. All the problems are generated by the iPhone and randomized so there is a virtual unlimited set of possibilities. MathTables allows you to choose individual operation types from addition, subtraction, multiplication division, squares, cubes and square roots or a combination of the above. You can also provide a range of numbers (from -99 to 99) you want to work with. Parents you will find this feature invaluable for helping younger students who need to limit the scope of problems they are currently capable of handling. Additionally, MathTables has a timer thus allowing a single student the opportunity to see if he can improve on a previous time, or even challenge a friend to a "quiz-off". MathTables is a great brain exercise, use it a few minutes each day and watch your math improve over time.
Latest reviews of MathTables by PalaSoftware app for iPhone and iPad
It works great toggle on/off mix and match addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I like this better than choose 4 possibilities at once and even better than write in correct answer like in Brain Age. Toggle negatives on/off. Really nicely implemented.
They did a great job on this app.... I like these types of brain trainers..... great for younger people and older as well..... thanks so much!
Would of be possible to add some sound effects ? And it might deserve five stars. Thank you anyway for that app.
Lets face it, flash cards are boring. I bought this for my first grader and he really likes messing with my iPhone any way. This adds a new element of fun to practicing math. It has a nice selection of options to customize the level of difficulty for your child. I like to give "assignments" of completing a certain number of pages/rounds. It doesnt deserve the subtraction of a star for lack of sound, but it would be a nice addition. (oh, math humor.) A single buzzer for incorrect and a random goofy sound for correct would be neat. Good job - a great application.
I emailed Palaware to recommend adding the capabilities for negative numbers (for my PreAlgebra and Algebra students). Palaware emailed back within hours and had the updates done within two days. Works great and looks fabulous! I am looking forward to more of their apps. Thanks from Mr. H at Riverside High School
