Circuit Math for Android
With the recommendation of HOF13104258, I purchased this app and it was pretty interesting! I would recommend it to students who struggle with addition and subtraction. There are six levels for both areas and several puzzles in each level. There is also a timer to motivate students to increase speed and accuracy which allows students to see their own progress. I may attempt to try it in the classroom though I would need some student feedback before committing to continued usage. Once you close the app it doesn't save what you've completed. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I can also see cunning students figuring out ways to complete the puzzle fast without actually doing math: in the addition section, you just put the biggest number on top and work your way down.
Any opportunity to make learning fun is always a positive thing. This app provides players with a fun way to build on their addition and subtraction skills. Children will strategically come up with alternative ways to complete circuits quicker to beat their own time. HOF13104258
I think that this is an excellent game for younger children. However, there should be a brief demo at the beginning. This game should also be available for PCS. Also I have a Samsung android phone and some of games that I played resulted in one of the circuit graphics missing. Overall, if the couple of issues could be resolved this should be a good teaching aid for addition and subtraction. Thx Jeremy HOF13104258
This game is fun, a bit addictive because I played for about an hour almost when I first got it. I thought it was just twelve levels but there are different puzzles within the levels. It's kind of an endless game in that way. HOF13104258
HOF13104258 This is a fun app to use. Great learning tool and I would recommend it. My only grievance is the placement of buttons. Aspects of the menu can make you confused about what you can and cannot click.
Levels can be completed without true comprehension of material, using process of elimination and recognizing simply to start with largest numbers at the top and work your way down. HOF13104258
App was easy to use and you got the hang of the addition and subtraction circuits quickly. I believe it would be a fun tool for students to use especially since they can compete for the best time. HOF13104258 Amie Roberts
This is a great app for kids to get better at addition and subtraction. It is educational and encourages the kids to keep playing by beating their own time. Kids can be motivated by being competitive within themselves and I think this app accomplishes that. Very good app, but should be made free for all to use.
It only has 12 levels. HOF13104258
this was a great app and game..very interesting educational and great learning tools for math..my daughter 9 enjoyed that i now have this :)
This app can be very useful in the classroom to get students to work on their addition and subtraction. It can also be very fun for students making them more engaged in learning. Although it is difficult at first, once the user plays it enough times they start to get the hang of it. HOF13104258
HOF13104258 Decent, very useful for all people who aren't strong in math. Helps you learn easily.
This is a great, fun, educational way for kids to practice math skills. It has them thinking and learning at the same time. It has them working toward something, the next level. They can even compete against their friends, siblings, or parents to see who can get to the highest level. Students can do this at home or at school if they have access to an iPad. It makes math fun!
This app is really good! I love the fact that there are different levels and students are able to use any number given to get the correct amount. HOF13104258
A great way to get some practice on math facts. It would be great to include multiplication and division somehow.
HOF13104258 This is a great application for kids and adults to keep up with their addition and subtraction skills. I think it definitely brushes up your mind and you're thinking skills. It can be very useful for people to continue there understanding of math and memory. I would definitely recommend this application to many teachers that are using iPads in school now to download this for their students to practice.
I liked this app, I think its a fun, interactive way for students to learn math. I like how there are different levels and a timer so students can compete against each other. I do think that students will lose interest in the app after a while. Maybe change up the music or colors at each level? HOF13104258
This app acts as a very good learning exercise for children. Everything about the way it works is fine, however I have only given it 4 stars because the formatting for my phone(DROID X) is not good. The bottom and top of each screen of the app is cut off and does not fit on my screen.
This app is a fun way to help kids practice math skills! They can work on their addition and subtraction skills with several puzzling levels that will make them think. I think kids will like to compete against each other to see who can get the high score! One minor issue, the app cuts off at the bottom of my screen. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3. HOF13104258
I'd recomend it. Its a stale app that has potential but not nearly there yet HOF13104258

I like this math game for kids so they can practice simple addition and subtraction with it feeling like fun game as well. It would be cool if the app could add multiplication and division levels for practice too!
HOF13104258 i loved this app! I think its very beneficial to children that have different learning abilities because of the 6 different levels. I also love how its a way to make math fun by challenging students to think fast like a race!
This app was a good idea in theory however, the person who made this app needs to go back and work the bugs out on it. The addition problems worked no problem but the subtraction did not at all.

HOF13104258 As a teacher, I thought this game would be great to use in the classroom. Simple to use, but both fun and challenging. There were only two things I would criticize: One, while there is a short explanation of how to play the game, I was still confused on how to complete the subtraction levels. I think a short, interactive tutorial would have been nice to take away any confusion. Two, I was only able to find this application through Google Play. Even schools that are lucky to have iPads in the classroom would be missing out on this tool to help students with math fluency. It would be great if this app could be available on computer as well as on tablets.
