Math Fact Master
What's It About?
Practice mode gives kids a problem on a flashcard, which they answer (silently or out loud) before tapping to flip the card on the screen. When they flip the card, the answer appears with right (green check) or wrong (red "x") buttons, which users press according to what they answered. In challenge mode, kids enter the answers onto the flashcard, and the screen flashes green for correct and red for incorrect. Additional features include a timer, data showing results, and progress reports that can be emailed to parents.
Is It Any Good?
MATH FACT MASTER - ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION is similar to a deck of paper flashcards, except on your mobile device. In using this app, kids have the ability to organize by number sets and to see the results of their efforts. There are no visually stunning graphics or arcade-style games here, but it can help kids learn the basic math facts they need to know to advance to higher-level math. And once kids get into it, fast-paced flashcard play can be exciting in its own special way; kids can try to beat their past scores or improve their time. Kids may not be wowed by the simplistic drills, but if you're looking for flashcard-style math practice that kids can perform on their own, it fits the bill.

If you notice a certain set of numbers or type of problem is a stickler for your kid, find ways to help them practice just that particular set or skill offline with your help. Try having your kid speak the problems out loud or write them on paper.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
