Kids Math Fun~Kindergarten and Kids Math Fun~Third Grade are flashcard apps for math facts practice. The Kindergarten one features addition and subtraction problems. I’d say they’re problems for advanced Kindergarteners or maybe even First Graders. But I may be underestimating the math that Kindergarteners do now. The Third Grade app has addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Many of the problems don’t ask you for the answer, they ask you for the missing number in the problem. I’m not sure if I explained that well enough. For example, the problem might be __ * 12 =72 and you’ve got to figure out what __ is. I find this a more challenging way to do flashcards and it’ll stretch your brain. It did mine anyway.
Both apps allow you to do “Minute Math” where you have 60 seconds to finish the problems. You can also turn on a “Try Again” feature that gives you a second chance at a missed problem.
The Kids Math Fun apps are simple and straightforward without a lot frills, just Math facts, although they do feature simple graphics that brighten up the flashcards. I found the Math to be a little trickier than the grade level it was for but again, it’s been a few years since I’ve had a Kindergartener or Third Grader and I could be way off. These apps are also available in Spanish, French, Filipino, Portuguese, Turkish or Korean.

Hi Heather,
Did you come across any math apps for 3rd graders that allow you to focus on one set of multiplication facts at a time? So you could force it to only show numbers multiplied by 4 (for example). We print out dozens of math fact sheets, but I would really rather not spend all that ink and waste all that paper if there was an app that could do that.
Thanks! LOVE YOUR SITE!

Kay – Kids Math Fun – MathBoard for the iPad is a tremendous learning tool. Definitely check that one out if you’ve got an iPad. Rocket Math by Dan Russell-Pinson lets you choose what numbers you work with. Math Ninja also lets you customize the times tables and it’s fun. Math Bingo won’t let you choose the numbers but it’s terrific and great practice on all of the math facts. It seems like I’m missing one but I can’t think of it tonight, if it comes to me I’ll let you know. ~Heather
