Mental math is a skill everyone uses to quickly solve everyday operations. Whether it is adding up the prices for the items in your shopping cart or figuring out how to split slices of pizza between you and your friends, small and fast calculations are needed all the time.
However, acquiring good mental math skills can be long and boring.
No kid wants to sit around and memorize their times tables or do sheets of addition pages, so why not turn the whole thing into a game instead?
Story Dice is a creative tool to prompt ideas for plot, character, and setting. This idea generator can be used effectively for both written and oral storytelling.
This app can be used with a wide variety of age groups ranging from preschoolers to teenagers. The user interface is simple enough for ages 3+ to use without any additional instruction. The use of the app does not require reading, so it is an ideal tool for using in a preschool story circle (see lesson plans) as well as a general writing prompt for all ages without reading or native language barriers.
The idea is simple - you create a study list, like one for countries and their capital or English words and their translation into Spanish. Study Snacks will split these words into pieces and you have to put them back together. With multiple learning modes, splitting types, and a study plan, Study Snacks will help you to memorize that knowledge without ever feeling like learning.
