Futaba Classroom Games is the only multi-player game of its kind on the iTunes App Store!  

Up to 4 students can cooperatively learn using just one iPad.  Each child takes a seat around the iPad and taps in to start. The game begins as images and questions spin into the playing area. The first player to answer correctly scores a point. Win 3 rounds and earn a Futaba (a small ‘seedling’).

Futaba also includes a single player practice mode - a great way to study at home or in the classroom (see our screenshots below).

NEW - Futaba Cloud Service - it's now easier than ever to create and share games with other iPads in your classroom.

****INCREASE YOUR CHILDREN’S SCORES****

Containing a number of teacher recommended learning sets,  Futaba is designed to give your children an engaging review by supporting curriculum standards.  These include lower-case and upper-case Alphabet Matching, Dolch Sight Words for 1st through 3rd grades, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Telling the Time, Currency, Countries and Flags, Shapes, Animals, Foods and more. 

As an immensely beneficial classroom learning tool for children 4-10 Futaba is ideal for supporting class room activities of all types.   Create reviews, introduce learning topics for the first time in a fun way or even have students create their own learning sets to solidify a review.  

Set Pro HD

SET® Pro HD is specially designed to exploit the iPad’s multi-touch, multi-player functionality to enable you to enjoy the most awarded visual perception game in history. 

To find a SET you must recognize three cards on the gameboard of 12 cards in which each of the features, examined independently, are either the same on the 3 cards OR different on the 3 cards. That’s it. One rule. It is deceptively simple. Thus, it’s easy to learn. A 6 year old can do it. But it’s a challenge for life, and mastering it challenges college students and their professors. The game has two levels Basic and Advanced. All players, regardless of age need to learn using the Basic level. Once you get the idea down, move to the Advanced level where you will experience the depth and richness of the mental challenge of SET. The Advanced level is the complete SET game. Of course, since SET is a game for all ages, younger players may take longer to be able to play the full game. Basic level has 3 features that anyone can master. Advanced level has four features, which is a challenge for all.

In multiplayer mode, players tap their scorecards to take control of the board, and then tap-in their SET, or, after tapping they can swipe their scorecard (or tap the NO-SET icon) to gain additional points if they perceive that a NO-SET situation exists. A point is lost if 3 cards are selected that don’t make a SET, or if a player doesn’t tap the cards within the time limit.

For beginners, there is an interactive Tutorial, and Hints are provided in all the game modes. Players can choose to play in teams. Your scores can be kept in the STATS if you choose, and in STATS ALL your best scores and those of all your friends are ranked if players want to see their rankings.

24 Game - Math Card Puzzle

The OFFICIAL 24® Game app is back from the makers of the popular 24® Game! Now you can challenge Facebook friends and opponents around the world to compete in in real-time matches! 

HOW TO PLAY

Goal: Make the number 24 using all four numbers on the card! 

Solving: To solve cards simply tap on a number OR slide between two numbers and select the desired operation (+ – x ÷). You can add, subtract, multiply or divide. Each number can only be used once and yes, there is at least one solution to each card! Most cards have multiple solutions. 

Difficulties: There are three difficulty levels shown by dots in the corners of each card — 1 Dot cards are easy, 2 Dot cards are medium and 3 Dot cards are tough! 

Strategies: Choose one number on the card and turn the other three into the numbers you need. For example: If you have a 4, try and make a 6, 20, 28 or 96.
Common Patterns that make 24: 6x4, 8x3, 12x2, 24x1. Don’t just look at the numbers independently, but as two pairs. For example: On the card 8, 7, 5, 4. Add 7 + 5 to make 12 and 8 divided by 4 is 2, so 12 x 2 = 24. 

FEATURES

• Multiplayer: Compete against your Facebook friends or opponents around the world in head to head challenges! Solve the card faster to win that card and earn points. Whoever wins more points, wins that challenge! 
• Points: 1 dot cards are worth 1 point, 2 dot cards are 2 points, and 3 dots are 3 points.
• Rewards: Climb the leaderboards, viewing your global rankings and how you match up with your friends! Earn new achievements and view your stats. 
• Single Player: Hone your skills by practicing each difficulty level for as long as you want. Try to beat your best time and see your average response time.

A math game intended for upper elementary and middle school students that helps students enjoy practicing their order of operations. The game encourages students to use higher order thinking to solve the "target" number by working backwards given the answer but not the equation.

This math game is made for students at different age groups and skill levels. For example an elementary student could use simple addition and subtraction to achieve the target where as a middle school student could perform complex combinations of many operations to reach the target.
