The lite version includes Flashcard Training for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad. Mad Math keeps track of the stats from multiple users. Each student gets a report of which facts they are struggling with and can even show off their progress via email. Each correct answer gets you closer to the next Mad Math Level.
Upgrade to the paid version for two new math games: Math Bingo and Bubble Math! Both of these games make the user use a different type of thinking.

As a teacher I would not let my own children play this. Adding and subtracting is taught in school by starting with the ones place and then tens and so forth. This game requires them to solve the problem starting with the highest place first teaching very bad habits for math computation.
Seriously? Adding and doing multiplication from the highest place first is not wrong; it's a speed math technique which makes larger numbers easier to deal with. After reading this review from a 4th grade teacher I decided to download the app. This math technique is a new age teaching style and works much better for most kids than the antiquated right-to-left form. I have not had a chance to look at the app yet but just wanted to clarify that how they teach math IS NOT WRONG. It would probably help your kids to learn this way and the traditional because both ways have their advantages. I am also a teacher and have 3 degrees(CS, Math, and Business). Please do not spread misinformation about education. If you are still confused as to why it is advantageous to do basic math from the left to right, there are many educational sites that can explain this concept to you.
I use this app to tutor students of many ages. Everyone can practice their facts! I like the variety of settings and that kids can calculate online. The option of negative numbers is great for middle school and older. I recommend this app highly.
This is the LITE version. It does absolutely nothing. It has ONE screen (math problem) which is 4+3 and ONE answer to choose from (7). Directly under the 7 it says "buy full version". That's it. No evaluation possible, will not purchase the full app without being able to test drive the features!
We have fun passing the iPad in class. The kids love to see if they can beat their time. Thanks for this wonderful classroom app.
This is wonderful for my 7-yr old and 9- yr old. In response to the review that says you cannot test drive this app, well, that is wrong. If you click on the side that says "flashcards", it takes you into the game where you can indeed test drive the app. It's quite fun, actually. Please give it a try! God bless!
Ok, it's free, thus the 2 stars. But I am not likely to purchase a full version when the app crashes each time I play it - especially mid game, the stats get skewed. Testing was performed on a iPod touch 4g, latest OS at the time of this writing.
This is one of the best apps I have used. Love how you can customize this for each person that uses it. You can also save multiple student's scores. You can figure out the problem using your fingers to write or draw the answers and then use the calculator to enter the answer. My students love it! The best part is that it is free!!!!!
