Apps

Practise addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. For single operation games the unknown value is the result (e.g., 3 + 5 = ?). For mixed operation games the position of the unknown value changes (e.g., 3 + ? = 8). Players determine the unknown value and drag the glove to the correct answer on the number line.

Represent numbers, ratios and percents. Explore patterns and measurement. Create geometric designs. Users can change colours, create mirror images, rotate, and copy selections.
