More than drills—MathBoard teaches how to solve math problems step by step, with support for iCloud, Apple Pencil, and speech input.
MathBoard® is a powerful and highly configurable math learning app designed for children of all ages. From simple addition and subtraction in early grades to more advanced multiplication, division, and even algebraic equations, MathBoard adapts to meet each student’s level and pace.
More than just drills, MathBoard encourages students to truly learn how to solve problems—not just guess the answers. With multiple question styles (including multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank), a built-in scratchboard for working out problems, and an interactive Problem Solver, MathBoard guides students step by step through the logic behind each answer.
The app includes a variety of math activities such as Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math, making learning both engaging and effective. Difficulty levels automatically adjust based on your settings, ensuring that practice stays aligned with the student’s progress.

My favorite is audio mode. You can hear the math question and then say your answer into your iPhone. Great if you want to hear and talk your answers while you’re driving. The iPad version is not as effective because you always have to repress the microphone icon after each question to activate it. -James

Great app, clunky settings interface
jake_the_snake
The fact you can’t type in the ranges but have to hold down a button like an old fashioned digital alarm clock to set the number range, is really strange. Let me type in 423 if that’s what I want to set instead of having to scroll there. Otherwise it’s a great app for kids to practice maths. There are no silly games or animations to distract them; their whole attention is on solving the math problem. It’s wonderfully unmontesori (sp?). Improve the settings interface and you have my unqualified 5 start endorsement.
