This math app is about the concept of order of operations. The user can evaluate random and custom expressions with exponentiation, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations on integers and decimals. Operations can be grouped with nested parenthesis.Expressions are evaluated one operation at a time just by tapping the operation. If the user taps an operation that cant be solved next, the app tells why that was the wrong choice. There are no penalties for wrong answers.After each step the solution for the current operation flies to the correct place. For example after solving 3 - 1 the answer 2 will fly to the correct place and the rest of theexpression will move down. That way the user sees that only one part of the expression is solved in each step.The user learns that the complexity of the initial expression does not matter because you only need to solve one multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction at each step. The app uses a hierarchy of operators triangle - boss triangle - that shows the order of operations using a pyramid with exponent at the top, x and in the middle and + and - at the bottom. The rules are shown in a visual way instead of mnemonics.Settings for random problems: -allow multiplications-allow divisions-allow exponents-allow negative numbers-allow multi-digit numbers-allow decimals-allow parenthesis-allow nested parenthesisOther iDevBooks math apps iDevBooks math apps have been reviewed and endorsed by Wired.com, IEAR.org, Teachers with Apps, and other other respected sites and organizations.Some of the 25 other iDevBooks math apps are Visual Multiplication Table, Visual Fractions Decimals and Percentages, Decimal Rounding, Whole Number Rounding, Column Subtraction, Column Addition, Long Division, Long Multiplication, Lattice Multiplication, Fraction Math, Partial Differences Subtraction, Partial Quotients Division, Partial Sums Addition, etc. Feedback and requests for new features New ideas to make this app better are welcome.
