About the application:

Math Balance makes improving Math Fluency fun - children assist Toby reach home by balancing bridges - by solving various issues such as missing addends/subtrahends, using commutative, associative, identity and distributive properties of arithmetic operations. Math Balance adheres to Common Core Standards for math and was designed by parents and teachers. This mini game is suitable for children from first to fifth grade, to improve number fluency and prepare for algebra. With Math balance, your kid will learn math skills like addition can happen in any order for the same effect, or that sum of various numbers can add up to be the same number. They will also end up having to use various number tactics, such as bridging and compensation which can significantly speed up their mental math computations. These are the skills covered by Math Balance - - 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 tactic to add. - Missing Addend tactics: 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 issues - Showing that addition and subtraction are inverse - Use only doubles, Use only even/odd numbers to receive to a total - 1 step word issues -Change unknown, Effect unknown, begin unknown - add a string of two-digit numbers (up to four numbers) by applying put value tactics and properties of operations. - Using concrete models to present addition and subtraction learning for 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade elementary school children. - Multiplication as repeated addition For those who follow the Core curriculum, this maps to the following common core standards - 2.OA.B.2, 2.NBT.4, 2.OA.2, 1.OA.6, 2.OA.C.3, 2.OA.1, 2.NBT.6, 2.NBT.7, 2.NBT.8, 3.NBT.2. Grade wise skills covered in Math Balance: 1st grade and 2nd grade: Children ages 6 and 7 (first grade and second grade of elementary school) practice math activities: Developing the meaning and understanding of 'equal to', 'greater than and less than' comparing numbers, easy math 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 issues with change unknown, effect unknown, practice mental math with missing addend addition and subtraction math tactics, put value tactics to add a string of numbers. 3rd grade and 4th grade: From age 8 to 9 (third grade and fourth grade of elementary school) the math mini game consists of: mental arithmetic sums of two-digit numbers, mental math addition and subtraction of 10 to or from a given number, fluently add or subtract within 1000 using various mental math tactics, multiplication as repeated addition for Grade 3 and Grade 4. Aside from being engaging math mini game, Math Balance has features like 1) Full alignment with key curriculum (e.g., common core, Ontario, TEKS, MAFS) 2) Embedded in-game formative and diagnostic assessments.
