The math game Fiete Math makes counting easy for kids to understand. Based on the educational approach of Montessori, numbers are touchable objects that your child can group, combine and cut up. In this math app children can discover the links between amounts and numbers and develop their confidence in dealing with them. This makes maths fun for kids. GAME PREMISE In this math game the tasks take the form of wonderful harbor scenarios from all around the world. Incoming ships must be loaded by your kids. Boxes can be grouped together and separated just like building blocks. This will change the cargo number. Kids can play in new countries and harbors, win medals and unlock larger ships. This visible progression means more motivation to keep on playing. THE BACKGROUND OF THIS APP - AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM Separating and combining numbers are important foundations to develop calculation strategies. Even an intense study of number systems and mathematic strategies during a normal school day is often not enough. Students who need more time can easily fall behind. Any problems in math are often left to be dealt with by an after-school tutor. OUR SOLUTION - AN APP WITH AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH If your child doesn't understand the basics of numbers, repeatedly trying to solve mathematical problems will not help. This app uses a different approach. Children learn through new, fun experiences. With this app, your child will experience and learn about the links between amounts and numbers through their own experimentation. CHILDREN IMPROVE • Fiete Math develops understanding of the number system, makes 5 and 10 structures usable and shows calculation methods. • The app lets your child play with numbers like building blocks. Abstract numbers are made into objects. • There are no time limits. Your child can complete the tasks at his or her own speed and gather important knowledge. This App is not just a digital copy of a maths book. It innovatively uses the opportunities offered by touchscreen devices to make number systems more understandable. To maintain your child’s motivation, we’ve made sure that this math app is fun like any other game. Best case scenario: your child won’t want to put Fiete Math down. Try that with a math textbook ;-) CONTENTS 1. 1,2,3,... Counting, recognising groups 2. SPLITTING NUMBERS Dividing numbers in different ways, getting to know numbers up to 20 3.

FEEDBACK PLEASE To develop this app, we carried out intensive research with education specialists and looked at very different teaching methods. We looked into the Montessori method, compared lesson plans, and delved into math books and textbooks by various publishers. We read teachers' manuals and spoke with educators, teachers and tutors. The most important thing is real feedback. We want to continue improving this app. Write to us with your experiences and ideas for Fiete Math: [email protected] Visit Fiete online at: www.ahoiii.com Beautiful Fiete products are available in our shop: www.shop.ahoiii.com Become a fan!
