Math Word Problems 2 4+

This app includes a wide variety of addition and subtraction word problems designed for students to read-along, draw and solve. The format & problems were developed in consultation with the new UK national curriculum (Key Stage 2).

Note that there is a paid version of this app which includes all levels.

This app is designed to be used in a classroom or home setting where a teacher or family member is available to work through problems and discuss problem-solving strategies with the student(s). After successfully choosing the answer, the correct equation is briefly shown on the screen in large format to help cement learning. The app tracks the number of questions answered correctly on the first try and reports on this figure at the end of each level.

These problems were designed with the following mathematical standards (primarily Operational & Algebraic) in mind:

-- UK National Curriculum - Year 2 and 3 (Key stage 2) --

• add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and
mentally, including two two-digit numbers
• add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of
columnar addition and subtraction

To keep kids motivated, this app includes an optional bonus game for every 10 questions answered correctly. All of these 4 games last no longer than 60 seconds and are meant to serve as a spaced break from the math word problems. The 4 games include the following:

1) Pop the balloons (directed play with a focus on hand-eye coordination)
2) Feed the frog (directed play with a focus on hand-eye coordination)
3) Draw a picture (open-ended play with a focus on creativity and self-expression)
4) Launch the planes (open-ended play with a focus on hand-eye coordination)
