Algebasics explains all things Algebra in a clean and understandable way. The sixteen main sections like The Basics, Linear Equations and Polynomials are all divided into several sheets that explain various concepts within the chapters.

The left side displays examples while the right side displays the solution for that example. This means that Algebasics is useful for those who need more practice in solving certain equations or grasping concepts. What I like is that you get a visual presentation of the example plus a voice that is explaining the steps.

It’s much like school without a visible teacher and classmates. What I do not like that much is that there is practically no explanation of the underlying concepts. A introductory section for every section would have been nice.

I was especially proud of my mental arithmetic skills at that time and I can say that I’m still proud of them after playing around with Math Ninja for a while. The author of Math Ninja wrote it for his 8-year old son and his math skill improved in a couple of days of using the math software. The objective of the math game is to answer as many questions correctly as possible. You can define in the setup which mathematical operators should be included (Addition, Subtraction, Divisions, Multiplications and Negative Numbers) and select a difficulty level.

Lower difficulty levels remove the difficulty operations such as multiplications and divisions from the pool of possible math questions making it an ideal program for children of all ages. (almost). The first difficulty levels ask less questions and easier questions. Level 1 for instance is only about addition of small numbers between 0-9.

Players get rewarded with points and ninja ranks to motivate them further. I think Math Ninja is a great way to improve the math skill of your children over time in a playful environment. Found in the adglobe blog.
