Long Division

Education Apps Review,
www.iear.org:

"This app is fantastic!! It takes the students through the steps of a long division problem and shows them how each step of the problem is related to multiplication.

It is clear, easy to read and to navigate around. It is more than just skill and drill, as the students need to have some conceptual understanding of what they are doing.

My third graders loved learning with this app! It has infinite enriching and differentiating possibilities, as the students can select easier or more challenging types of problems."

"Together with my son, we started to practice Long Division, a great easy to use educational math app. At first he was a bit reluctant but I must admit that presenting long division on his iPod made it right away more appealing and entertaining. He started to like it and stopped daunting the division problems. Quite quickly, we started to see some improvements. His level of confidence increased and soon he was mastering long divisions."

"Long Division is an app that focuses on just what the name says “Long Division”. The app uses a pretty nice interface and walks you step by step through many different combinations of problems. As you walk through a problem the app will create steps that you have to solve in order to get the problem right. It’s almost like having a teacher in the palm of your hand.."

Long Multiplication

Fun Educational Apps,
www.funeducationalapps.com:

"My oldest kid has been struggling with long multiplications for a while. We have been practising and practising. Doing the traditional way on paper is ok but nothing really exciting. He is so reluctant to do it. Thanks to the iPod, it all changed few weeks ago when I downloaded the Long Multiplication App for the iPod or iPhone.

Don’t expect your kids to go crazy and be like “thank you so much mum for this app” ... it is still straight forward math and needs to be introduced as a help and support tool to the process of learning long multiplication. We work it out at during homework time and it does wonders, my son actually enjoys doing long multiplication, it is a nice break.

Most kids enjoy doing some extra long multiplication with this math app. Kids are given the opportunity to solve the problems step by step and each step is animated. It is a great alternative to study and practice the standard pen and paper algorithm for multiplying large numbers. "

Column Subtraction

Dr Tim Pelton,
assistant professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Victoria
Tap Tap Math:

"If your goal is to help your child to master the traditional subtraction algorithm then Column Subtraction may be the ideal App.

If your child is familiar with the traditional subtraction algorithm they will likely be able to improve their mastery of the procedure using this application. With the ‘show current operation’ option turned on, they are constantly reminded of the next step, which can lead to efficient practice of the procedure. Then by turning off the current operation your child is able to practice remembering the steps on his/her own. Because no wrong entries are allowed the app provides a passive form of positive reinforcement and your child will likely improve in both confidence and competence with respect to the procedure. However, to support learning and understanding in mathematics you need to take an active role in assessing understanding and challenging your child to explain their thinking."
