Level up your math skills…

Build fearsome confidence and awesome math fundamentals for your budding scholar!

Players are challenged to tap pairs of spheres that add up to their current level’s number. Get them right, and the spheres disappear. Get them wrong and they freeze on the board creating a pile up on the screen. When 2 or more spheres rise above the top line, the round is over.

Across the full skill range, It’sphereSum is a fun, highly educational app that will keep any child engaged. The students are thrilled to get new high scores at each level while working their way up.

It’sphereSum also targets the Common Core Standard Math Standard for Grade 2 Operations and Algebraic Thinking: CCSS.Math.Content.2.OA.B.2.

Features:
• 20 levels to keep players challenged
• High scores tracked for each level, and composite high score all levels
• Players must master (by clearing at least 10 pairs) current level to unlock the next
• See what happens when you master level 20

Praise from the Classroom:
"My students love this game and because it is so easy for all of them to use, I love it too! My second language students are able to participate and it differentiates within each level so everyone from my special education students to my GATE identified students can play. Beginners focus on finding just one pair of numbers for each sum while more advanced thinkers challenge themselves to find several pairs of numbers for each sum. It’s brilliant! My students master autonomy of basic addition facts, strengthen their strategic thinking skills, and practice their fine motor skills with hand-eye coordination movements...all at the same time! They can play independently or they can play together and help each other find the correct sphere pairs, which has made this a great centers time activity. I love that we can use it for a quick 5-minute treat or for a much longer time period. I’ve also had parent volunteers sit with students and play “with” them, asking them to explain their thinking while they play. My students ask to play this game and I am thrilled that It’sphereSum has made practicing math facts so much fun!"
