How often you've heard our kids are falling behind in Math/Science? Well, not any more if you check out this app and ask your kids to try it.....
iMathGenius is a math test game which aims to improve a player's math skill by playing an interactive game. The math difficulty levels span from Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, up to Pre-College level. The types of the test include basic number operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division; number comparison; number serial; decimal and fraction operation; unit conversion; geometry; trigonometry; algebra; logarithm; numerical power and root. Advanced tests also include complex number operation; number set theory; statistics theory; linear and quadratic equation; simple derivatives and calculus; and probability theory.
The tests start with simple basic number operation and number comparison in Kindergarten level. With each increase of the level, the difficulty and the types of the test also increase. At the final level, i.e., Pre-College, tests are very similar to the S.A.T Math test in the US and Chinese National College Entrance Exam in Math. In addition, some tests are equivalent to the college entrance level like derivatives and calculus.
Therefore, everyone can find a level suitable to his or her ability. After a player selects a difficulty level and number of questions to test, the game begins. For each question, the player is asked to choose only one correct answer from five multiple choices. If the answer is correct, reward points are added to the player. If the answer is wrong, the player has the opportunity to review the correct answer.
The amount of reward points awarded each time is based on the age of the player and difficulty level being chosen. The younger the player is and the more difficult the level is, the higher the reward points are. After the test, a summary report can be displayed showing the player’s overall test performance.
In addition, based on the total reward points, an image of a great mathematician initially covered by an array of 10x10 tiles is displayed, either completely or partially uncovered. The player can choose to take more tests to collect more reward points or do something else to relax. The threshold of the reward points to completely uncover the image is based on the age of the player and the difficulty level being chosen. The younger the player is and the more difficult the level is, the lower the threshold is. If the image is completely uncovered, the player will have an opportunity to learn some image editing skills on the image as an incentive to answer more questions correctly.
If a player can regularly play the game, his or her math skill will greatly improve over time. A player can also check if he or she is ready to take the S.A.T Math test in the US or the Chinese National College Entrance Exam in Math when the most difficult level, i.e., Pre-College level, is chosen and played regularly.
