FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

• Math Vocab Apps Fill A Fundamental Gap!

VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, April 21, 2015 — Happy Frogs Apps announces the release of 3 apps in their Math Vocab series. These apps introduce the key vocabulary needed for success in math in the early elementary grades.

Math Vocab 1 launches today and teaches the most important words needed to succeed in Grade 1 math. Fun activities step the user through the 4 key stages of learning from recognition through to using the word appropriately in context (most apps miss this step!)

Children who struggle with math often don’t understand what they are asked to do. They don’t know the meaning of the words.  These apps ensure they understand AND can use the key terms.

The app builds word skills in a fun, game-like environment based on the latest research in vocabulary development.

Janine Toole, founder of Happy Frog Apps, has this to say about the app: “We are thrilled to offer these apps as they fill a gap in the app store.  We know kids will develop stronger math skills once they know what the questions are asking!”

Math Vocab 2 and 3 launch on April 25 and 28.

The Math Vocab apps include:

• Incremental and guided learning for less frustration

• Fun and engaging Rewards Center

• App supports up to 10 players and includes extensive reporting for teacher/therapist use

• Content designed by professional educators

Pricing and Availability:

The Math Vocab apps are available in a free and paid edition for iOS.  The free edition includes 4 free levels for a single user.  Additional users and levels are available with in-app purchases.  The School Edition has no in-app purchases. It is available for $4.99 and has up to 10 players and all levels available.

For launch day only, the School Edition is available for $3.99!

Starting Tuesday, we will release 3 new apps over 7 days, the first three in our series of Math Vocab apps. We’re excited!

We’ll have free promo codes available for each app, so make sure you are on our mailing list to hear about it first!

Many kids who struggle with reading comprehension also struggle with a weak vocabulary. We’ve decided to do something about that!

Math Vocab 1,2, and 3 target specific vocabulary that children need to succeed in math.  These so-called ‘Tier 2’ words are unlikely to be learned through general conversation, but are needed for academic success.

Making the most of recent research in vocabulary learning, our apps:

– teach small groups of words together until mastery

– include audio and visual support to enhance learning

– require the use of word in context to ensure understanding

As always, our apps focus on teaching and showing instead of just testing.

Our Math Vocab 1 app will be available on April 21 and teaches the 48 most important words needed for Grade 1 Math.

Math Vocab 2 targets words needed for Grade 2 Math – it will be available on April 25.

The third in the series, Math Vocab 3, for Grade 3 level words, will be available on April 28.

We’d love to see you on Facebook on our launch days, so come and join the promo code party!

Yay, it’s launch day!  It’s been a few months since we launched a new app — all those cool updates for our existing apps took  a while!

But here we are with our brand new Math Word Problems –  Step by Step, the winner of our Which-app-next? poll that we held last year.

Unique on the app store, this app helps kids understand HOW to do math word problems step-by-step. Starting with the absolute basics, by the end your child will know how to interpret and complete one-step math word problems using addition and subtraction.

This will provide them with a REALLY great basis for 2-step and more difficult problems that will soon come their way.

Enjoy!
