Vizulator The Visual Calculator
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Vizulator –the Visual Calculator will change the way your children think about numbers and will revolutionize the way you work with them.
It makes maps of the world of numbers and regular use of it will make your children genuinely natives of that world. It will make them truly feel at home with numbers.
It draws pictures of whatever maths your children are learning, and it updates these pictures in real time. These instant real time models remove the mystery and confusion of traditional abstract math because they show the real quantities behind the symbols. In addition to this, colour coding shows exactly how the quantities are acting upon each other during mathmatical operations. Students can see exactly what a division or a percentage answer is, but also, and much more importantly, exactly how it was created. What everyone else tells, it shows. More than any other teaching device Vizulator reveals the hidden dynamics of mathematics.
Vizulator is instantly adaptable to the needs of your students whether they are six year olds just starting on simple operations with small amounts or ten year olds working on quite advanced decimals or working with a wide range of quantities. In particular Vizulator’s sophisticaled modelling of micro amounts will enable them to grasp operations on fractions and decimals much earlier than would otherwise be possible. In addition it will easily accommodate work on very large quantities such as thousands and even millions. And students always get to choose how their amounts are organised, whether in horizontal and vertical number lines or in number grids of any size and any shape.
Whether as a demonstration tool for the teacher or as a modelling device alongside each student this revolutionary tool is making math lessons dramatically more meaningful and effective. It is invaluable as a collaborative tool for group tasks, or as a companion for individual work. It is perhaps the first maths app around which teachers are planning months and months of whole class learning. At home parents and children are using it to guide them in home study and as a unique tool for clarifying all the areas of number work.
Vizulator shows numbers and number operations in a way that is similar to that used by the brain to process and perceive them. Its use of spatial positioning to represent values is extremely brain friendly and because we have so much visual processing power within us students are able to progress much faster. Vizulator delivers number work to our most powerful neuro-processing faculties.
Vizulator is the world’s first instant quantity and operation visual modeller for children. It will change the way you teach and change the way your students learn. The onboard guide comes with months and months worth of activities covering most of the elementary maths curriculum: Additions, subtraction, division, multiplication, numberbonds, place value, sequencing and ordering, multiples, factors, money, fractions, decimals, percentages and more.
Here are some early comments from Headteachers, Teachers, Academics and Parents:
“The crucial thing with learning maths is not finding short cuts to the answer, it is about understanding the question. And in this regard the Vizulator is world class.” (academic)
“Finally something that restores meaningfulness to the heart of maths work.” (advisory teacher)
“The most advanced and most effective maths learning tool I have seen.” (headteacher)
'This is what you hoped for when you bought an ipad for your family. Something that educates your child in a way you could not possibly have dreamed when you were young." (parent)
"Show this to your child's math teacher and you risk losing your ipad."(parent)
