Math Fact Master
Pros: Students get to make their own choices, receive immediate feedback, and share progress with teachers via email.
Cons: This flash card-based experience doesn’t offer the interaction or fun that some kids will expect from digital learning.
Bottom Line: Simple flash card practice doesn't provide much fun or inspiration.
Unlimited individual student accounts can be created so each student can identify his or her current strengths and areas for improvement with various number sets. Students receive immediate feedback after each flash card and can track their challenge test results. Track student-learning progress by emailing parents progress reports directly from the app.
Students are not likely to engage with this program voluntarily, so it's best used as a quick review activity at the beginning of class or for early finishers.
Math Fact Master is an app giving students solid practice in the four basic math operations. It includes two modes: Flashcard for practice and Challenge for testing knowledge and skills. Both the number set (0s through 12s) and the range of numbers within the set can be selected for individual students, so the level of practice grows with students' abilities.
Practice mode provides problems on flash cards, which kids answer (silently or out loud) before tapping to flip the card on the screen. When they flip the card, the answer appears with right (green check) or wrong (red "x") buttons, which users press according to what they answered. In Challenge mode, kids enter the answers onto the flash card, and the screen flashes green for correct and red for incorrect. Additional features include a timer, data showing results, and progress reports that can be emailed to teachers or parents.
With all the opportunities to make math learning engaging for kids, Math Fact Master is surprisingly dry. Its serious blue/gray interface doesn't exactly connote fun, and the app essentially consists of a series of flash cards. Still, it's intuitive and easy to use. Kids pick which operation and which sets of numbers they'd like to practice, empowering them to choose what skills they want to improve in any given session. Feedback as to whether they answered each problem correctly is immediate, and there's lots of information provided at the ends of tests, too (which can also be emailed to parents).
Students will learn best by competing against themselves through multiple sessions of play, but it will be a challenge to get them to use the app regularly. In addition, if kids pick too many numbers, the drills go on for an unreasonably long time, and if you quit ahead of schedule your results won't count. All in all, you're paying for something you could easily find for free on more engaging apps and sites.
Learning Rating
Customizable math drill and practice with emailable progress reports
Math Fact Master is a very good app for Math drill and practice. Teachers MUST delivery instruction to students FIRST and thereafter introduce the app for practice. Thought it was excellent as all 4 operations can be selectively assigned per each student's ability. Flashcard mode and Challenge mode are available so exceptional learning needs students through gifted and talented students can participate and be fully engaged. Extremely user-friendly with very low learning curve for teacher setup. Each child's profile (name) can be entered and it appears the number of student profiles is unlimited. Progress reports track missed problems which can be pre-set to repeat so students can move closer to master. Challenge mode has a timer which will be very appealing to competitive students. Worth much more than the 99 cents developers are charging. Aesthetics of Math Fact Master is quite appealing. The designers used blue, green, and gray to offer users a calm and appealing learning environment. Students will want to practice their math with this tool. PARTICULARLY liked the fact that Progress Reports for each child can be emailed to the teacher (or a parent/guardian) to track student progress. Tested sending emails to my account. Each was received with no problem - easily printable.
