About Math Bridges - School version
Learn the bridging technique with Math Bridges.
Kids or adults, who are fast at mentally computing math facts, often do not use the standard techniques for solving math problems - like the standard algorithm for double digit addition/subtraction. They use properties of numbers, break them apart and put them back together, and use other ways to simplify the problems before solving them.
It's a proven fact that this math fluency is an essential element for future math success; and yet very little is done to teach them to kids or have them practice these.
Math Bridges focusses on the bridging technique - which is mainly about using friendly numbers to simplify problems.
For e.g. 17 + 21 = 18 + 20 = 38.
This might look convoluted, but this simplification makes it very easy to compute the answer. This or some variation of this are often used by people who are good at math.
Math Bridges is also useful for younger kids - seeing the numbers as manipulatives and performing addition and subtraction operations by joining and cutting bridges makes it very easy for kids to visualize exactly how number operations work. For older kids, they can move past the manipulatives and focus on understanding the flexibility of numbers and especially the bridging method for adding and subtracting.
This addition and subtraction strategy game has 30 different levels to help your child get the necessary flexibility with numbers and mental math facts.
Math Bridges is suited for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. Download it for your child now, and see them get better at number flexibility and mental math.
