Math Champ Challenge – Math Skills Practice iPad App

by

Screen Shot 2013-08-05 at 6.50.31 PM Math Champ Challenge is the latest iPad app from INKids Education. Math Champ Challenge is designed for students in grades four through seven to practice their math skills in timed and un-timed challenges. All of the practice activities are aligned to Common Core Standards. When a student uses the app she selects her grade level and the category of Common Core Standards math skills that she needs to practice. Students earn virtual trophies for reaching new skill levels.

Math Champ Challenge provides a blank workspace below each math problem. Students can use this workspace as digital scrap paper before selecting the correct answer from the list of answer choices.

Math Champ Challenge currently costs $4.99. In the interest of full disclosure I will tell you that I received a promo code to try the app for free.
