First practice the basic calculations and then speed it up!
Correct and Quick Arithmetic (Premium) was developed for everyone who would like to train and maintain the basic processes of arithmetic.
In this app you will find exercises with number bonds 1 to 10, addition and subtraction sums up to 100, and the multiplication and division tables up to and including 10. These are the foundations needed for arithmetic.
The table of 0 has been added to make children more aware of the number 0.
The ultimate goal is to do number bonds 1 to 10, sums (addition and subtraction up to 20), and tables through 10 with a very short time limit (within 2 seconds) resulting in answers to be memorised. The sums are subsequently
memorised.
For sums up to 100, the way to work them out is automated. The threading method is the best way: 28+13 = 28+10+3 = 38+2+1 = 40+1 = 41. Asterisks in the app indicate the level of difficulty**.
The sums in the app deal with lesson material appropriate for primary school children aged between roughly 6 and 9 years. They need to remember this lesson material throughout their entire primary school time!
In addition, this app is eminently suitable for secondary school pupils who did not practise these basic calculations enough or who have since forgotten them.
The app has also proven itself to be extremely useful as an aid in remedial teaching and as a 'remedy' for dyscalculia. Many children are wrongly diagnosed with dyscalculia. For most children who may have dyscalculia, good mental arithmetic education can help to overcome their arithmetic problems!
First start to practice without timing yourself. In practice mode (X), the correct answer appears after a wrong answer. Wrongly answered sums are always repeated.
In the number bonds and sums up to 10 and 20 in particular, it
often turns out that a child still needs material. Make use of it until you know for sure that the child can do without! Some examples of good material are Unifux Cubes, (or Lego) and Numicon. These materials
show the structure up to 10 in various ways.
Only when this goes well will you be able to start training at speed. It’s better to spend more time working on learning one kind of sum well before moving on to the next kind! So first CORRECT and only then QUICK!
Practise the number bonds and sums up to 10 until you can do them all well, and most importantly, fast. These are the most important sums in mental arithmetic! That’s because you need these sums in order to be able to do the next
sums. Knowing these sums will make the next ones easier to master.
When practising the tables, it’s important to do it as smartly as possible. The tables button is designed to help you with that. The tables button is only active when you are going to practise tables! | ||

After a series of sums, a smiley will show how many you got right and how many wrong. The more sums you get right, the happier the smiley is!
Apple: With Family Sharing set up, up to six family members can use this app.
Android: You can share purchased apps from Google Play with up to 5 family members using Google Play Family Library.
In the app you can choose from 11 languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Nepali, Bokmål Norwegian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish. The information in these languages can be found on the website mm.breuking.nl
The app for Android and Apple is constantly being improved, both didactically and technically.
Correct and Quick Arithmetic (Premium) is an indispensable instrument, dependent on any method, for learning mental arithmetic.
Have fun, and good luck with Correct and Quick Arithmetic (Premium)!
