Description

If you're like most folks, your childhood consisted of heading to school and horsing around with friends afterwards...or sometimes during. You labored through the grind of math class and then spent your afternoons out on the baseball diamond. Now take those 2 memorable experiences and combine them into an exciting and fast paced game and you end up with Math Baseball. Math Baseball is a great educational tool for your child and can provide a useful diversion for any occasion, whether it's waiting at the doc's office or while out on the town for a family dinner. What differentiates Math Baseball from the other math resource apps is the sense of accomplishment your child will experience and the pride they will feel as they move up the ladder and into the big leagues.

Math Baseball allows your child to play against a friend or the iPhone. You can use the app as an opportunity to sit down with your child and have a fun, academically nurturing experience together or you can put the phone in their hands and allow them to compete against the iPhone so that they can learn while you tend to other matters. With four levels of difficulty, Math Baseball provides evolving challenges for your child to engage with. Have them feel the pride of graduating from Little League to Juniors, all the way up to the Major Leagues with their success. As they move up in rank, the difficulty of material increases and the time allowed to answer the question becomes shortened. Rest assured, there are no losers in Math Baseball. We give you the power to adjust the time per question so that your child won't be discouraged and can keep growing within the game.

The game works like this. In single player(versus the iPhone) mode, your child will assume the role of the pitcher and the questions they answer will become their pitches. Answered correctly and within the time limit, their pitches become strikeouts; answer 3 questions correctly and they make it out the inning unscathed. If they answer incorrectly or exceed the time limit, they may give up a single, or a double, maybe even a triple. Just like in a game of baseball, the more hits allowed--or in this case, questions incorrectly answered--the more runs will be scored against. Once your child strikeouts the side, they become the batter and their correct questions become base hits; incorrect questions turn into outs. In 'friend' mode, you and your child will trade the iPhone off as you each take turns as the batters. Answer 3 questions incorrectly or exceed the time limit and the inning is over and you hand off the phone.

Math Baseball's catalog of questions involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You can choose which specific discipline of arithmetic to quiz your kid on, or you can set the game to random and cover all of 'em.

Math Baseball works with all generations of the iPhone, as well as the iPod Touch.
