Calabash is a web app designed to improve children's mental mathematics. With just ten-minutes of daily practice at home, your child can improve their addition and subtraction before moving on to master multiplication and more. That will make learning mathematics at school much easier and more enjoyable.
The key to motivation and progress is completing the practice daily. To do that, you need to pick a set time each day that your child can do their ten-minute practice. In that practice children begin at Level 1 each time and aim to get a high score. That ensures they are consolidating earlier skills as they learn new ones.
Calabash is the result of twelve years of teacher development, involving three previous apps (Banufa, Number Mine, and Numble) and countless paper-based systems. It has been tested at home and in several schools, including a special education school.
Getting started is easy. It can be run on any browser and will work on iPads, Android tablets, PCs, Macs, and phones. It's free to use and requires no login. Below you will find a link to launch the app, a full guide, and related resources.
