Math Practice

When it comes to teaching your children math skills, especially when they are not too excited about the topic, then you need to be creative. From the extra homework help to simple quizzes over breakfast or stories that sneak in algebra concepts, there are some interesting things you can do to practice and, why not, spark a love for learning Mathematics.

Math Practice is a small and intuitive application that enables you to help you child make the first steps into the world of Math via simple teaching tools.

After a quick setup, you come face to face with an outdated and simplistic interface. The main window displays the main menus, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, that are representative for their functions. Each session includes 10 questions and once you are done, you are presented with statistics regarding your success rate.

You should know that the tool supports some basic customization, namely you can specify whether you prefer to hear certain sounds when the answer is correct or incorrect for example. While you can change the colors for question and answers, you cannot modify the background.

It is worth mentioning that the program enables you to select between three difficulty levels for the math operations, namely easy, medium and hard. While the easy mode includes very simplistic quizzes, the hard level addresses students who might need extra help with homework or for a test, for instance.

Unfortunately, the application's functionality can be summarized to a short quiz where the child needs to answer correctly in order to proceed to the next question. It would have been nice if the utility allowed you to build your own timed quiz so that you can replicate the conditions specific to tests.

In the eventuality that you are looking for a straightforward solution to introduce your child to Math, but would like to make the experience seem more of a play than homework, then perhaps Math Practice could lend you a hand.
