Teaching the mechanical procedure of cross-multiplication to determine equal ratios, does not promote proportional reasoning -- Logic Factor Puzzles does! Students will learn how numbers are related instead of doing rote memorization.
Logic Factor Puzzles are designed to give students a head start in algebra. This application supports a student's understanding of factors and their relevance in solving proportion problems. Recognizing the relationship of factors in these puzzles gives students the foundation for developing proportional reasoning.
The students will be challenged to solve puzzles and apply their skills to word problems. As they use the strategies to solve the puzzles, they will discover how easily they can solve the word problems. As students make connections, they begin to see that mathematics is more than a series of isolated skills. Seeing these relationships between skills and concepts develops mathematical understanding. This understanding allows students to see how useful and relevant mathematics is.
This thought process builds the foundation for algebra word problems on the college entrance exam. Recognizing the relationship of factors in these puzzles gives students the foundation for developing proportional reasoning.

Great learning app for kids starting multiplication and ratios. Reminds me of sudoku. Fun even for an "old guy" like me.
Fun...but just good

This game was super fun, and a little challenging, but too short. I solved each puzzle in an average of 30 seconds, so I was done with this lite version in less than 10 minutes : ( I wish I could have sampled a more difficult level as well. I'm not sure I'd spend the money to be done so quickly. Otherwise, this game was very fun!

The game has potential. There are times when you just can't place a number (the number won't stick where placed) and, for a timed game this is very frustrating. Work out the bugs, send us an update, and I will try the game again. If not, I'll be removing this game from my iPad.
