“Wrap your head around Finger Math, the astonishing educational game where you find out how to become a human calculator! Do you believe your fingers can out perform the calculator in both speed and accuracy? It’s an amazing thing to count to 99 with just 10 fingers. And just as you’re getting smarter, Finger Math challenges your brain and dexterity with increasing difficultly.

Finger Math, a unique educational game that fascinates kids and adults alike. Only iPad’s multi-touch interface makes this remarkable game possible.

• Saves up to 5 players
• 60 increasingly challenging levels
• 10 touch points on the iPad – hold your fingers down to have them counted
• Counting, addition, subtraction

Finger Math uses an abacus-like finger counting method called “chisenbop.” With this method it is possible to display all numbers from 0 to 99 with both hands. Finger Math works on the iPad by detecting the “touch” position of all 10 fingers. The fingers are pressed onto the iPad to indicate value.”

Why we like this app?
Finger Math is an amazing learning tool for the Chisanbop technique, using the full potential of iPad’s multitouch technology. It takes you step-by-step of the learning process by doing actual work until you master it perfectly. This app is a great example of how a tablet can be used to teach a subject interactively.
