This is a great app to challenge strong math students to improve their mental math speed. However, students who do not enjoy math challenges, have writing, memory, or calculation weaknesses or grow frustrated or anxious easily should not use this app. The app has four games, three levels each, and all require students to solve single to multi-step math equations in their heads and write the answer on the screen. The handwriting recognition is quite good but not perfect which can cause frustration. It also prohibits a student from writing partial solutions or writing numbers right to left while solving. Although students can take as long as needed and skip problems, the timer runs on top and the speed expectations are quite high to earn stars. The app does not explain incorrect answers so students should use this app only after they have a fluency of math facts, complete understanding of order of operations, and comfort completing multi-digit calculations mentally.

Quick Math+ takes the math challenge to the next level and brings some fun, new surprises along the way.

With a focus on self-improvement, Quick Math+ encourages the development of mental arithmetic skills as players race the clock to improve their score and earn stars to unlock exciting new avatars.

Quick Math+ comes with four game modes:
• Solve: Order of operations questions along with the inclusion of indices and negative numbers.
• Memorize: Twice the challenge as players remember hidden numbers from one question to the next.
• Compare: Develop important estimation skills as players race to determine greater than, less than or equal to.
• Swap: Provides a memory and order of operations challenge as one number or symbol changes with each question.

Quick Math+ is ideal for students grades 5-8 or anyone wanting to improve math skills and response speed. The difficulty levels provide multiple challenges for the whole family to practise and develop skill.

The advanced handwriting recognition allowing you to draw answers directly on screen and a beautiful interface, Quick Math+ is the slickest way to improve your mental arithmetic skills.

EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
• Practise mental arithmetic, including order of operations and parentheses, indices and negative numbers.
• Develop arithmetic fluency and improve mental calculation strategies
• Test memory, logic and estimation skills
• Practise handwriting

FOR PARENTS
Quick Math apps improve arithmetic fluency and promote the development of mental calculation strategies. Quick Math+ offers a step-up for those who have already mastered basic mental arithmetic, introducing order of operations and parentheses, negative numbers, and indices. With a focus on self-improvement, Quick Math+ provides individual feedback on player progress as they develop arithmetic skills at their own pace. Quick Math+ is perfect for Grade 5 up, providing increasing challenges as players grow.

FOR TEACHERS
Quick Math+ allows students to practise and develop their mental arithmetic at their own pace, while providing increasing levels of difficulty as students master arithmetic skills. Individualised user profiles allow devices to be shared among multiple students whilst allowing students to track their own personal progress. Quick Math+ provides a challenge for students who have already mastered general mental arithmetic skills, introducing order of operations questions and parentheses, negative numbers and indices. Suitable for Grade 5 up.
