Qwhizard Math is an app that can supplement your child’s learning experience by providing a rich variety of randomized Math questions in a quiz setting. This app is meant for children in grades 2 thru 6. Questions are presented in multiple choice format, and the content was modeled after California’s STAR Assessment Tests. Parents get a separate area called Parent’s Hub, from which they can manage up to 8 separate child profiles, each of which maintains its own space for practicing quizzes. Questions presented range from basic arithmetic, number sense, measurement, geometry, fractions, probability and estimation, ratios, expressions and equations, as well as problem solving. Questions range in difficulty from easy to difficult, and are separated per grade level. A child can review their questions before submission for a final score, and can also review any quiz taken in the past. This is a valuable tool in helping parent and child go over mistakes to learn from them. Each child profile presents visual representations of their performance over time, which can help provide insights into their overall progress. Getting a passing score on each quiz taken earns a certain amount of Stars. These can be used to purchase cool trivia badges that reward such achievements. A quiz can be taken in Timed Mode, where a timer is displayed ticking down, giving a limited amount of time to finish a quiz. There is also an Instant Feedback option, where choosing the right or wrong answer will be revealed immediately upon choosing from the choices. A nice feature of the app is the ScratchPad, which can be used while taking a quiz to scribble and solve problems without the need for paper and pencil.

As a supplement, this app can be very helpful to prepare children in grades 2 thru 6, not only in preparing for assessment tests such as the STAR exam (and similar tests in other school districts), but as a general tool to gain more aptitude in the variety of Math questions they are exposed to at school. The variety of content will continue to increase, since the app derives its content from a platform that has more data over time. Future versions of this app will also be evolving into the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), as well as the presentation of different quiz formats beyond multiple-choice!
