Holy cow! Tyler is actually close to solving algebra problems, he's five! Now let's get real, my kid is not a genius....
He doesn't understand the equations of course... he gets adding and some subtraction...he gets that 3 x 3 is three groups of three and he knows 1 x anything - 1, 0 x anything is 0, and he knows the trick to multiplying 11s and 10s but that's the extent of multiplication... not totally grasped...
but what he does get is "method" of solving equations (which is stepped up slowly in the game).
this is exactly what an educational app should do. it starts with pictures rather than numbers (less intimidating) and "night versions of the pictures" (negatives).
PERFECT! find it HERE
