MathBoard for iPad, by palaware

“There’s an app for that.” If you can imagine it, that statement is probably true. This iPad app gives you the ability to:
- Generate problems with Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Squares, Cubes and Square Roots
- Configure the number ranges from -1000 to 1000, and you’ll have the ability to require certain numbers to be in each problem.
- Make guessing more difficult with intelligent “wrong” answer generation
- Time the quizzes, and configure your timing.
- Save your kids’ quiz and replay it or a similar quiz  later.
- Review wrong answers with both the incorrect and correct answer visible (and equation displayed). You can even generate a quiz from just the wrong answers.
- The app includes “Problem Solver,” and quick reference math tables.
