More educational Kindle apps... - Our Traveling Tribe

I’m adding a few more apps to the list of our FAV educational Kindle apps on our ‘Roadschooing via Kindle’ page; all math ones this time…

King of Math Junior is a cute app that lets you practice your math facts, starting with counting (yay for pre-reader Molly!) and covers +, -, x, division, simple geometry, comparing (less/more), puzzles, measuring (weight/volume, review time, patterns…), and fractions. This is the cutest app! It’s a a little addictive – you earn points for correct answers to work your way up the renaissance era class system. Your progress is saved under your name – you start as a farmer, and work your way up the ladder (through bard, alchemist, ogre or ogress, knight…10 levels) I won’t ruin it for you; I had to keep playing until I’d ‘reached the top’ just to see what my next occupation was, and check out the pics (and boys and girls have different pics)! LOL! <3

King of Math is an more advanced version of KoM Jr. Runs pretty much the same, subjects are: +, -, mixed 1 (mixed + and -), x, division, arithmetic, geometry, fractions, powers, statistics, equations, and mixed 2 (various mixed problems). Same premise of earning points thru correct answers to move up the class ranks (blacksmith, merchant, jester…) avatars not cutesy like Jr. version, more humorous. Fun graphics, and covers lots of different types of equations.

Geometry Quest
is a tour around around the world, that is, if you can pass each level without losing your passport 😉 7 levels, 28 questions in each level, 3 wrongs and your out. Simple app, covers shapes up to 10 sides (names, # vertices), area and perimeter, lines, radius and diameter, angles, graphing, slope, volume, equations (? from last level: A line that is perpendicular to y=-(1/5)m+6 must have the slope… options are 4, 5, 6, 8 (answer is 5) 😉 ). Questions are varied, so it’s not repetitive, and gets harder as you progress. If you get all 28 answers right, then you earn a passport stamp for that level.
