New Kindle Apps - Math Flash Cards for Kids

There are two new Apps from Digi Ronin Games in the Kindle store, both aimed at improving your kid's math scores. Looking at the pictures, they remind me of some of the Brain Age games for the DS (but without the timers or having to get the touch screen to recognize the numbers you draw with the stylus).

Flash Cards: Basic Math for Kids ($2.99)

App Description
Now kids can exercise their math skills on Kindle - anytime, anywhere.

Flash Cards: Basic Math for Kids helps your child learn basic arithmetic by giving them practice doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are five difficulty levels designed around common arithmetic learning concepts that progress from single digit operations with no regrouping to double digit problems with regrouping. There are three different modes of play you choose from depending on your confidence with the material: You can use the cards as a study guide to introduce a concept, practice with multiple-choice answers, and progress to fill in the answer directly.

To give students timely feedback, correct answers are acknowledged and incorrect answers are corrected immediately upon submitting an answer. A high score table tracks your ten highest scores to help you track your progress and improvement.


Flash Cards: Fractions for Kids ($2.99)

App Description
Flash Cards: Fractions helps your child learn about fractions by giving them practice doing conversions from fractions to decimals and percentages, and converting from percentages and decimal values back to fractions.There are four difficulty levels designed around common fraction usage. For example, 1/2 and 1/4 conversions are in an easier level than 3/7 conversions.
