Smart Cards 1.0


Category: Education
Price: $1.99 (iTunes)

Description:

24 decks for flash cards for less than the price of one normal deck!! Add, Subtract Multiply and Divide for 6 users! It's like normal flash cards, but smarter!

This program mimics the method I use to study real flash cards with my son. It presents a card and the user inputs their answer. If they are right, it removes that card from the deck and you don't see that card again. However, if they struggle with the problem it puts the card back in the deck and they will be asked the same card again. When they correctly and quickly answer all questions, it starts over.

I wrote the program over the Christmas vacation because my son was having trouble learning his multiplication tables. The first day I put this program on his iPod, I asked him to use it until he completed 20 problems. He did and five minutes later he asked if he could do more. He never wants to study math flash cards! He completed a deck of multiplication tables that day and every day since. On the third day with the program I told him if he completed the multiplication deck in 15 minutes I would buy him a $15 iTunes card. I thought he could do it in a week, but he did it that day! On the fifth day he did the multiplication deck in 8 minutes!

The program remembers which cards you know and which cards you still need to study. So you can break your study into short sessions. It also tracks the total time you have studied the deck.

Here are some suggestions on how to use the program.
1.Answer the questions a quickly as possible. If you don't know the answer, guess. If you can't guess, write the problem down and exit the program. Use the iPhone/iPod calculator to solve the problem and write the answer down. Start the program again. You will see that problem again. Writing the problem and the answer down will help you memorize it.
2.Different people have different attention spans. Start slow. Complete 10 or 20 problems at first, then build.
3.The timer starts when the problem appears and ends when you give a correct answer. If you are interrupted, exit the program. Take all the breaks you want, but exit the program when you take a break. When the program restarts you get a new problem and the timer starts again.
4.If you don't use it, you loose it. When you can complete a deck in around 10 minutes that's pretty good, but don't stop. Go though the deck a few times each week so you don't forget what you learned.

Features:
1.Supports 1 – 6 users.
2.Tracks which cards you need to study.
3.Keeps data when you quit to support multiple study sessions.
4.Four decks (add subtract multiply and divide) from 1 and 1 through 12 and 12.
5.Supports multiple sessions. You can switch decks and users and it remembers where you were when you come back to that deck.
