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.

Very well thought out. Playing ( learning don't tell the kids ) or set up very easy. Where they say it's good for school kids is very true I am 56yrs old. I use it to try and keep sharp ( Im not working ). I would like to suggest that you add quickly, percentages. Quickly so you can keep the number one spot. It's hard to get there harder to stay there. Thanks
Fantastic and Useful!

We use this app almost every school day. My children have memorized their multiplication tables using this app exclusively, but we have used it for addition and subtraction drills and timed drills also. I appreciate that I can control ALL the parameters of the drills/quizzes, and that I can email the records of the children's work to myself so I can keep a record of their work. It is the best math app we have, and we have at least 10. Kids do not get distracted by silly nonsense and unnecessary over the top praise, they are able to focus and work quickly, and the reward is a high score, and they are happy with that.I have used this app from the moment it came out on the iPad, and I have not had any issues whatsoever. Kids find it easy to use, and they enjoy this app over all the others (they actually fight for who gets to go first to use this for their drills).THANK YOU for developing and continuing to improve this wonderfully useful app.
Great
