Basic Math Decoded is an easy-to-use and very interactive piece of software designed to provide children with a fun and efficient method of learning math. Teachers and parents can also join their children and help them understand mathematics with this little tool.

Solve basic math operations in an interactive way

The interface of Basic Math Decoded is very user-friendly and consists of several submenus, a toolbar and a few tabs that allows for easy navigation and access to all its features.

With Basic Math Decoded, you can solve basic math problems and perform simple or complex operations, such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. All these operations can be performed using whole numbers, fractions, decimals and mixed numbers.

Every equation is calculated step-by-step and includes tips, explanations, comments and recommendations on how to solve each math operation. Certain digits are highlighted in bold in order to emphasize the process that is presented. This method is useful even for those who forgot the exact methodology to solve long multiplication or division problems.

Play games to learn math

Basic Math Decoded is not like any other math solver, it adopts the learning by playing strategy in order to make math fun and easy to understand. Consequently, it includes three games: ‘Fast calculation’, ‘Select the wrong answer’ and ‘Fill blank spaces’, which you can use to test your acquired mathematics knowledge.

‘Fast calculation’ is a very entertaining game that helps you master easy, medium and hard level math operations by clicking moving airplanes. If you select the wrong answer the plane explodes, but once you’ve got the right answer all planes change their colors and numbers, and you can move on to the next equation.

‘Select the wrong answer’ randomly displays the results of ten equations and lets you identify the wrong answer.

Lastly, ‘Fill blank spaces’, as its name clearly states, enables you to fill blank cells with the corresponding numbers to solve various equations.

Handy math tutor

All in all, Basic Math Decoded is a simple-to-use application that helps children practice mathematics in a fun and efficient manner, whitout having difficulties in accessing the program’s main functions.

Basic Math Decoded is a tool that solves basic math operations.
The application has a friendly and interactive interface that is specially designed for children. It solves four types of operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It works with whole or mixed numbers, fractions and decimals. What I like most about this program is that it explains every step of an operation. This fact makes it very useful for children that learn the basic math.

The application has 3 interactive games that combine work with pleasure. The first one, ‘Fast calculation’, consists in choosing the right answer in a short time. The second game is ‘Select the wrong answer’. There are 10 operations and you need to find the one that is wrong. The last game, ‘Fill blank places’, is a bit more complicated. In order to solve the operations of that game, the user should master basic math notions. The application also gives you the possibility to save the solution of an operation as RTF file. If you find it difficult to use the program, the ‘Help’ option could help you very much, because it explains every option of the tool. An important feature that the program misses is the ability to maximize its window. I think this option could have been efficient when you want to show the tool using a video projector.

In conclusion, I think this is a nice and practical application. The developers wanted to create a tool that could be used by everyone. The fact that it comments and explains thoroughly each operation makes it very useful for the young users.
