iLiveMath Animals of Africa
This education-based app introduces children to the world of math through word problems. Each word problem has a photograph and scenario that includes a different animal found in the wild in Africa. iLiveMath has three levels of difficulty that are geared toward kids in kindergarten through 6th grade; the math problems focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and percentages. The app has a distinct approach to instruction that applies concepts to real life situations rather simply performing numerical drills. As a result, learners are exposed to the language of math and are able to build confidence and understanding in a less conventional way. Another unique feature allows kids to get help with problems or share with others via blog, email educator, or tweet to followers and friends. iLiveMath is a fun, educational app that offers something different to those learning basic math. My only gripe is the cumbersome interface to log each answer (you must scroll to find the right number, tap to select, and then advance to the next problem). Maybe I’m getting lazy in my old age, but I think fewer steps would enhance the app experience.

Description from the Developer
Featured in Top-10 iPad Education Apps by GameClassroom.comNOTE: Get Animals of Africa at the introductory price. This special will expire when it is upgraded to version 3. Get it now and you will receive the upgrade for free.NOTE: There is a typo in one of the alerts (i.e.: "Don't Forgot" should be "Don't Forget") and will be fixed in the next release. Twitter has rendered the feature obsolete as all apps must use OAuth to access Twitter to avoid storing the userId/password on your phone. So we will be phasing Twitter out of iLiveMath apps. As an educator do you have students who struggle with word math problems? Our children found word problems to be challenging and therefore we wanted to help remedy that with fun topics and multi-media to help in teaching these critical concepts by developing the iLiveMath series of apps.
