How We Teach FingerSums
Organized in easy-to-learn lessons
FingerSums training consists of a total of 63 lessons in 10 chapters.
The addition techniques are taught in the first 5 chapters.
The subtraction techniques are taught in the second 5 chapters.
Watch the animation to learn
All the lessons use animation and sound to teach FingerSums techniques.
The animation speed can be adjusted to suit your child.
You control them using these buttons: "Start", "Stop", "Play", "Repeat".
Interact with the app and learn
All the lessons are interactive.
If you answer wrongly while practising, you can tell FingerSums to show you the correct way of using the fingers to answer the question.
You can even tell it to repeat it as many times as you want. It's that good.
Lessons have three stages:
Learn, Practice, Test
There are 3 stages of training in each lesson: Learn, Practice, Test.
In the Learn mode, your child will be shown the technique.
In the Practice mode, your child will practice the method. Questions will be given for your child to answer. If your child does not get the answer correct, you can use the "Show Me" button to demonstrate how the question should be answered.
In the Test mode, your child will take a test based on the current lesson's techniques.
Instructions will guide you
All lessons have training instructions.
After you complete a portion of the training, instructions will appear to tell you what to do next.
We teach through the Internet
A continuous internet connection is required. All your FingerSums data is stored in the cloud.
(We do not collect any of your personal information.)
Only the current lesson is downloaded to keep your internet usage low.
Pictures and videos are not downloaded while training. They are installed when you install the FingerSums app.
