About

Column Addition helps students learn and practice the column addition method step by step. The app aligns the numbers automatically so students can focus on solving each column. Carrying is handled visually with animations, helping students understand how digits move from one column to the next. Students can solve randomly generated problems or enter their own addition problems. The number of digits can be adjusted, making the app useful for different skill levels. Column addition is also known as columnar addition, long addition, or longhand addition.

One of my sons was struggling with math and I must say the use of iDevBooks math apps has really helped him.” Professor Tim Pelton reviewed the sister app Column Subtraction: “Because no wrong entries are allowed the app provides a passive form of positive reinforcement and your child will likely improve in both confidence and competence with respect to the procedure.” Teacher endorsement: “The Math apps by Esa Helttula allow students to practice and reinforce the specific computation strategies taught in class, with as much or as little scaffolding as necessary. They also provide individualized feedback to each student, with an immediacy that is not always possible through pencil and paper practice.” — Rita Zeni, Ecole Sandy Hill Elementary, Abbotsford, BC, Canada Other iDevBooks Math Apps: Other iDevBooks math apps include Column Subtraction, Long Multiplication, Long Division, Lattice Multiplication, Visual Multiplication Table, Fraction Math, Partial Differences Subtraction, Partial Quotients Division, Partial Sums Addition, Decimal Rounding, and more.
