Now kids can exercise their math skills on Kindle - anytime, anywhere.
Flash Cards: Basic Math for Kids helps your child learn basic arithmetic by giving them practice doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are five difficulty levels designed around common arithmetic learning concepts that progress from single digit operations with no regrouping to double digit problems with regrouping. There are three different modes of play you choose from depending on your confidence with the material: You can use the cards as a study guide to introduce a concept, practice with multiple-choice answers, and progress to fill in the answer directly.
To give students timely feedback, correct answers are acknowledged and incorrect answers are corrected immediately upon submitting an answer. A high score table tracks your ten highest scores to help you track your progress and improvement.

Awesome for home and classroom!
i think these rock - and so does my son
I bought these for my son, who is in second grade and so far he loves them! He won't stop playing, so I'm trilled - I'd much rather he 'play' with math than on some video game!
We haven't had any of the problems described by the other reviewer.

This is a really great product, did not realize there was anything like it for the Kindle. Whenever I read, my 6 year old daughter wants to use the device but there was nothing for her. After searching awhile, I found Basic Math for Kids and decided to try it. She loves it. She takes a lot of satisfaction in getting the answers right (and using my gadget). I am going to buy the whole product line up.
I guess the previous reviewer was a shill (see the review's comments online), and since no one else has done so yet, here is my honest opinion of the product.
At first I was excited about the possibility of active content for math instruction on the kindle. That excitement quickly faded, due to what I believe is poor (hasty?) execution. The most annoying thing was that within the first two minutes it froze my kindle. This is not acceptable, never ever. To its credit, it remembered which flashcard I was on before it crashed (after restarting the program).
There are three modes of play. Flashcard mode, multiple choice mode, and fill-in-the-blank mode. Flashcard mode is simple, and the most useful. However, I find the numbers are too small and the choice of font is quite distracting. I'm sure the programmer thought this choice of font was 'cute', but it makes the product much less appealing to me. Why can't someone just make flashcards with big, bold, black numbers that fill my screen?
Multiple choice mode is a joke. The answers are spaced so far apart, to get the right answer you just need to estimate, not do any real math. An actual example is: 1830 / 2 = ? a) 168 b) 213 c) 915 d) 421; hmmm... let me think about that one. Fill-in-the-blank is not really useable, just because typing numbers on the kindle 3 is a pain. Also, there is no way to exit a problem set early, you must type in 25 answers to return to the home menu (even if you close and reopen the program).
The concept of keeping track of scores for right and wrong answers could have been a really awesome feature; however, it is not. The player cannot see their score during play and nowhere does the program ever tell you how much a correct answer is worth (from inspection I guess it is 10 points for easy, 100 points for hard) and when you finish a problem set all the sudden a score pops up. The most messed up part is that correct fill-in-the-blank answers are worth the same number of points as correct multiple choice answers. WTF? So now my smart-mouthed girlfriend teases me that she is better at division than me, but I digress... You cannot enter upper case letters for names, and the high scores can never be reset.
I figure that the Digironin Fractions to Decimals product suffers from the same flaws, and I don't plan to have my $3 taken twice.

him were begging me for a turn :) I was actually sad to see you didn't
have more programs. I also like how I can use the same program at home
with my 1st grader, he could easily practice his addition and
subtraction without much of my assistance.
