Description

Pure Math Dividing is a app fordividingwhole-numbers less than a hundred. Level one is fordividingnumbers less than 27. Level two is for dividing numbersbetween 16and 49. Level three is for dividing numbers between 32and 81.Please "Visit Developer's Website" for directions.

The Pure Math family of apps help learning math bypresentingsimultaneous representations of numbers and dot-patternsin orderto balance right-brain and left-brain development. Theseapps sharea unified graphical interface in to represent numericconceptsgraphically, thereby showing interrelationships betweendifferentoperations. Non-relevant associations are avoided toprevent theirbinding on the formation of numeric concepts.

LEVELS:

Unlike the typical levels in a game, the Pure Math apps allow onetoswitch levels of difficulty at any point in time. If there isanysimilarity to games, it is with those that are turn-based,where onehas indefinite time to make a move.

INTERFACE:

The interface is simple on the surface and provides aunifieddesign, the envisioning of information, and a generalityacross thewhole Pure Math family of apps. The development was donefor forboth handsets and tablets simultaneously in order to workwell forboth small and large displays. The apps display in afull-screenmode in order to prevent young children from toying withmenu itemson handsets. Combinations of blue and cyan color itemsaretransformed into pure white items for correct responses. Eachofthese colors should display at a different intensity forthecolor-blind. These colors were also selected to avoidanypsychological connections with traffic signals. Output isnotplaced on buttons but instead is placed above or alongsidearrowsso fingers do not get in the way. More frequently usedtouch-screeninputs are make more accessible at the bottom cornersof thescreen, and those less frequently used for level changes arealongthe top of the screen. The operation of the app is intended tobeintuitively obvious without the need to read any instructions,sothere should be less culturally-relative andgender-relativeimpediments. This is important since there arehundreds oflanguages used on earth, each with more than amillionpeople.

These apps may be used at any age level in addition to thosejuststarting to learn math, including those that want to fortifywhatthey know already, and grown-ups that want to use themasbrain-exercises. For preschool through grade 3 students theseappsare intended to help bridge the gap between the mental-imagemodeand abstract mode. There are no sounds or words whatsoever intheseapps, so learning may take place quietly without anydependence onlanguage skills. Numbers are portrayed in their mostsimple formsto avoid association with any particular fonts and thegraphics arerendered in the most minimalistic geometrical form tomaximizeiconoclasm and minimize anthropomorphism, hopefullybuilding a morepure formation of mathematical concepts withoutcluttering the mindwith narrative discourse andmnemonic-devices.
