Calling all elementary teachers who care about math (or "maths"). Download this app. It can reach inside a child's mind and help adjust their mathematical thinking. How? It lets you touch and manipulate abstract relationship. It comes from French designer Pierre Abel and has two modes: Playground (an open-ended editor for free experimentation) and Game (reproduce an expression or equation like 4=4 or -1+x=2. A young child can freely explore the relationships that drive ideas like equality, addition/subtraction, fractions and base ten. Content covers: • Integer numbers • "X" variable (support for others variables such as "y" will added later) • Expression with + and - operators • Equation with =,>,< symbols • It is also possible to divide by two numbers (by "cutting" them) with your finger. The app can be customized for specific needs (see the screen shot). You can only manipulate elements according to algebra rules to reproduce the expression defined as the goal. It is possible to make your own levels for a particular child. See also the DragonBox series.
