APK Description:

Mental maths is fun with Maths Balance - kids help Toby reach home by balancing bridges and while they have fun, they also solve Maths quiz, mental maths addition and subtraction puzzles, multiplication tables (times tables), equality/comparison, gain flexibility with numbers and practice Maths skills that are essential for understanding algebra.

Maths Balance is an excellent pre-algebra game for learning Maths for kids. This game is designed by parents and teachers and is suitable for years 2, 3, 4 and 5, especially ks2, for practicing Maths - addition, subtraction and multiplication skills, as well as getting a sense of numbers, as required for algebra.

This mental maths game with 30 levels will help your child get necessary fluidity with numbers and mental maths. Your child will learn Maths concepts like addition can happen in any order for the same result, or that sum of different numbers can add up to be the same number.

Mental maths computations will also get significantly sped up by kids having to use different number strategies, such as bridging and compensation.

These are the skills covered by Maths Balance that help with Maths facts and eventually with algebra -

• Developing meaning of equal sign, using, greater than and less than sign

• Commutative property of addition and subtraction, later, using it and expanded form as a strategy to add.

• Missing Addend strategies: x+b=c, where x is to be found, situations where difference is unknown, where there is a bigger unknown and where there is a smaller unknown -one step problems

• Showing that addition and subtraction are inverse

• Use only doubles, Use only even/odd numbers to get to a total

• 1 step word problems -Change unknown, Result unknown, start unknown

• Add a string of two-digit numbers (up to four numbers) by applying place value strategies and properties of operations.

• Using concrete models to show addition and subtraction learning for years 2, 3, 4 and 5 elementary school kids – both ks1 and ks2 but especially useful for ks2.

• Multiplication as repeated addition

Grade wise skills covered in Maths Balance:

Years 2 and 3:

Children ages 6 and 7 (first grade and second grade of elementary school) practice Maths activities: Developing the meaning and understanding of ‘equal to’, ‘greater than and less than’ comparing numbers, simple Maths addition and subtraction facts, understand the properties of addition such as commutative property, additions without regrouping, showing that addition and subtraction are inverse, one step word problems with change unknown, result unknown, practice mental maths with missing addend addition and subtraction Maths strategies, place value strategies to add a string of numbers for Grade 1 and Grade 2.

Years 4 and 5:

From age 8 to 9 (third grade and fourth grade of elementary school) the Maths game consists of: mental arithmetic sums of two-digit numbers, mental maths addition and subtraction of 10 to or from a given number, fluently add or subtract within 1000 using different mental maths strategies, multiplication as repeated addition for Grade 3 and Grade 4.
