Targeting Maths 1

Since the last update my daughters progress has been wiped. This has been majorly disheartening as she was very close to completing the app. Is there a fix for this?

It helped me so much!

We’ve used math seeds but my 9 year old wanted something that was graphically more mature. I purchased this for my son who is in G4 but really struggles with math so he could do some extra work on his own to gain more confidence with math. However because he also has dyslexia he can’t read the problems & there is no vocal option to read them to him. We are both really disappointing as he was looking forward to doing this independently and now needs someone to sit with him.

There needs to be the option to correct errors especially in the activities when you order, my child gets frustrated if she puts something in the wrong box by mistake and then can’t fix it.

I think the app has potential. It does have a number of flaws though. 1. Inability to correct errors/mistakes before going to the next question. 2. Unable to be shown or review the questions to see the correctly answered/what you got wrong. 3. Not all questions are read out loud. The app is good, but needs some work. The fact you can't review or see what the correct answer should be is a big negative in my opinion. My daughter accidentally pressed the wrong button on one of the answers, but realised straight away. Unfortunately she couldn't change the answer despite knowing what the answer was. This is also a big negative in my opinion. This is my first app that I have paid for. If points 1 & 2 are addressed, I would recommend the app to others. Whilst I think option 3 is important, I think the other two are more important.

My son loves maths and this app allows him to practice his area of strength but unfortunately I have to read every question to him ( this makes him feel like he can't do it). Unlike the kindy version which reads each question but the skills are way to easy for him. It would be great if there was a way for parents to turn on an option for the questions to be read aloud.

My child has been using this app to improve her maths skills. She has never loved maths, until now! She goes straight for the iPad and this app when she arrives home from school, it's amazing!

This is the most expensive app I have ever purchased. The content is good but it is very laggy. Year one students cannot read so I don't expect to be able to use this until at least half way through the year and only with good readers. The instructions need to be read out to the users. The dragging is slow and difficult for an adult to move to the correct spot let alone a six year old. This is worst on the number line questions where it doesn't approximate position but let's you land on a half!!! Overall the content is good but there are a lot of faults. When I was counting a group of objects an alien appeared on the screen and blocked my view. I have only played the number section and the slowness has bored me. Hopefully you are listening to reviews and update it very soon. Lots of better apps for the age group that are snappier and more engaging. For this price I expect close to perfection!

kids in my grade love this app, but it doesn't cater for kids who struggle to read, some of the words are pretty sophisticated for little kids ! It also does not allow them to make mistakes when trying to put numbers in order, once the number is in a box it can't be moved, kids need to be able to manipulate them!

I like this app. Good mental maths practice for children. I would like to see an option for the question to be read aloud.
