App Overview

Squeebles Maths Bingo app helps young players to gain fluency in the basic math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each game is set up as a bingo game where the player must mark five numbers in a row on the bingo card. Traditional bingo rules apply; either get five vertically, horizontally, or diagonally on the card. Players press the correct answer. Incorrect answers lower the overall score. 

As with all Squeebles math apps, math fluency practice is mixed in with incentives and badges that can be used to play a game. In this app, a player builds up Squeeble customers and ice cream ingredients they can use to run the ice cream parlor. Trying to figure out the favorite flavor combinations of the Squeeble can be tricky!

Instructional Ideas
  • These Squeebles are cute. Have young mathematicians make their own Squeeble, complete with name and personality.  Then have them use their "personal" Squebble to help them set target goals, keep track of their own progress and chart areas of success and growth.
  • This app would be a great addition to a math station or as extra homework practice
Classroom Considerations
  • The game supports multiple players.
  • The levels of difficulty could be used to apply to different levels of basic math operations fluency required by the Common Core standard
Pros
  • The app provides engaging practice for a variety of basic math operators. Its friendly interface will appeal to a number of young learners. 
Cons

  • This app is missing some of the detailed player statistics found in some of the other Squeebles math apps, thus making it difficult to track specific areas of learner progress.
