SlateMath for Kids – Kindergarten and 1st Grade Games

SlateMath for Kids teaches foundational math skills using game-like activities. When users launch SlateMath, they first create a profile by choosing an avatar, entering their name, and selecting their age. Next, users can choose to complete individual learning activities or swipe the page to build and practice their math skills by traveling to different destinations across the globe. As they select different destinations, which are shown as black-and-white pictures, users complete a learning activity. Once they complete a learning activity, the picture for the destination will be colored. As users complete different activities, either individually or by traveling to destinations, SlateMath awards 1, 2, or 3 stars, depending upon how they performed. Additionally, users earn different rankings for their accomplishments as they complete the activities.

Instructional Ideas

1. After teaching a skill in class, teachers can have their students use this app to practice that skill.
2. Using the travel mode, teachers can require students to complete all the activities at a specific destination. To ensure that students are learning the skills, teachers can require them to earn three stars for each destination.
3. Teachers can create a class competition to see which student can attain the highest or most ranks for their accomplishments made while using this app in a specific amount of time (e.g., a class period, a week, or two weeks).
