This application, called Pet Bingo, is designed to help kids visually learn and practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It includes unique educational hints developed by teachers to aid in understanding math concepts. The app offers a mixed math mode that adapts to each child's level, ensuring they are comprehending the material while still having fun. Kids can also choose to practice specific times tables for multiplication. Parents and teachers can monitor progress and find additional skill-building activities in the Report Card section.
The app was developed in collaboration with Jennifer DiBrienza, a PhD in Early Elementary Education from Stanford University and former NYC public school teacher. It covers math skills based on Kindergarten through Fourth Grade Common Core State Standards, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, measurement, and geometry. The app also helps kids understand concepts such as area and the relationship between multiplication and addition.
One of the key features of Pet Bingo is the Report Card section, where parents and teachers can track a child's progress and discover new skill-building activities. The app aligns with Common Core Standards, including K.OA, 1.OA.6, 1.NBT.4-5, 2.OA.2-3, 2.NBT.5-6, 2.NBT.8, 2.MD.6, 3.OA.7, 3.NBT.2-3, 3.MD.5, and 4.NBT.4-5.
