Math Slide: tens & ones

Math Slide: tens & ones is a multiplayer game helping children understand numbers up to 100: 'tens' and 'ones'. Players play and learn by sliding tiles into the center to match an image, answer or equation.

There are two modes or ways to play this game. Competition Mode is where the player who slides their tiles into the middle first wins, or Collaboration Mode where all players slide their tiles into the middle at the same time, working together and winning together.

Understanding tens and ones is a key math concept critical in a child’s development. Progressing from counting to using number facts and place value is difficult for many children. This app is specifically designed to help children make this critical progression, helping them ‘see’ and understand that 23 is 2 ‘tens’ and 3 ‘ones’ and that one more than 79 is 8 groups of ten.

Features
• Multiplayer game, suitable for one, two, three or four players
• Games can be played in Competition Mode or Collaboration Mode

• All games can be played twice for free
• Game 1 and Game 8 can be played unlimited times
• Each game is a little harder than the previous game

To work out if this app is at the right level of challenge try Game 1 and Game 8. If Game 1 is too hard or Game 8 is too easy this app is not at the right level.

You can now play Math Slide collaboratively. Up to 4 players can work together to complete a game. Each player slides a tile into the middle and when all players have the correct tile in the middle, all players win. Players can also switch to competition mode, where the first player to slide all their tiles into the middle wins.
