Learn through play: Math Bingo for iPhones
Before starting school my son liked numbers and basic calculations, but the minute he associated numbers with the big scary “Math’s” word it all changed. Sometimes I watch him staring at me with a lost expression on his face trying to make a calculation I Know he can do as if it was the hardest thing in the world. His math’s teacher follows a system that is supposed to make things easy, which repeats the same addition or subtraction in several ways. This system lays the foundation for more complicated exercises later on, but the process makes things complicated right here and now. That’s why I am always on the lookout for fun games that involve numbers and counting, to keep the subject appealing. Lately I found a great iPhone app, Math Bingo that does just that. Math Bingo developed by ABCya is a colourful and extremely fun to play game for basic calculations. Players can choose to add, subtract, multiply or divide as well as select the easy, medium or hard levels according to age and skill. The cool Bingo bugs keep the game entertaining and in between adding up and multiplying players can have a go at the purely fun based Bingo Bug Bungee.
