Reviews:
All four of my children love the Wheel Math app. Using number patterns to create shapes is both great fun and a fantastic way of learning multiplication. My children, like most children, love to think creatively. Wheel Math allows them to do this in a constructive manner with real results. It also teaches them to understand how patterns can be found and followed in almost anything!

-"Number wheels are fun, and this is like climbing in one and driving it."
-"A delicious treat for students and teachers alike."
-"Worth way more than the price".
-"Goes well with MisterNumbers Youtube videos"
-"Makes math fun! App visually shows how the decimal system works in a circular way and makes the times tables easy to learn. A great tool and “wheel” fun. "An app my 11 year old can enjoy. Most math apps are easy and bore her quickly. This one makes her think and take her time. Great fun even for adults."
"Nice app for kids learning multiplication, it is fun and I saw big improvements of my 6 and 8 years kids. Great and thank you!"
"I love the playful nature of this app and how it shows these interesting relationships between numbers on a wheel. Makes learning about numbers fun for kids of all ages. My 15 year old son likes it too. For visual learners like myself, this tool will be a big help learning multiplication and just enjoying the beauty of numbers."
This app makes multiplication fun for kids and kids at heart. The patterns quickly emerge, and as an adult, I saw the fascinating patterns that the different numbers take on the wheel. I also was interested in creating, and then viewing with my own eyes, the interconnected relationships between multiplication, addition, and subtraction. It’s a whole new way to think about math- easier and prettier than the way I learned in school. Also my three-year-old likes the sounds, and can do the number wheel himself since the application is easy to follow; he says “ I want to do the threes!” Although clearly he cannot enjoy it on as many levels as I can, we both definitely like it.!

Wheel Math Wheel Fun APP: Directions and Suggestions
If the directions are not clear, watch the video ( top left corner). Choose and tap a number 1-9 at the bottom. It lights up with an orange circle and you are ready to do that number on the wheel. Let’s say you have tapped the 4 and it is in an orange circle at the bottom of the app.
When you start out, count 4 clockwise on the wheel from 0, then tap the 4 on the wheel. A line should go between 0 and 4. Count around 4 more from 4 and tap the 8, a second line will go between 4 and 8. Count 4 more around and tap the 2, and a red line goes from 8 to 2. (Notice that you have gone past 0 and there is a red 1 on the right making it 12. Go around 4 more to 6 and tap the 6, a fourth line. Go around 4 more and tap the 0 (Notice that the red 1 becomes a 2 making 20. Your 5 lines should have made a star.
When you get to 0, enjoy the kids voices and fireworks. You can’t do anything until they are done. When “Around Again” flashes, tap it and the lines disappear. You may have to tap it twice. Then 20 still shows and you can start by tapping 4 on the wheel again and a line will be drawn and 24 shows up on the right. You are playing on the wheel and creating the Fours (notice the 4 x 6 = 24 at the top).
Continue until you get to 80 (4 x 20 = 80). After the sounds and fireworks and END shows up, tap “Fours Again” to start over.
If you get stuck at any point, The sequence of number for FOURS ones-digits on the wheel is 4-8-2-6-0, If your last line went to one of these numbers, tap the next number.
The other ones-digits (or Ones-ies) are:
Ones are 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0
Twos are 2-4-6-8-0
Threes are 3-6-9-2-5-8-1-4-7-0 or you can break it into 3-6-9---2-5-8---1-4-7---0. The 3 number groups start with 3, then 2, then 1, and add 3 to each number.
Fours are 4-8-2-6-0
Fives are 5-0
Sixes are 6-2-8-4-0 (Fours backwards, 0 at end)
Sevens are 7-4-1-8-5-2-9-6-3-0 (Threes backwards, then 0) 7-4-1---8-5-2---9-6-3---0. The 3 number groups start with 7, then 8, then 9, and subtract 3 from each number.
Eights are 8-6-4-2-0 Twos backwards, 0 at end.
Nines are 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0
At any point tap “Watch Video” on top left

Learning
Math times tables can be boring and frustrating and kids often develop a
negative attitude about numbers. Number Wheels give kids a chance to play with
numbers and learn the times tables, while developing a positive attitude about
math.
A Number
Wheel is just a number line to 10 that is bent into a circle. When you count
around the wheel past 9 you go back to 0. This is silly but it gives kids an
opportunity to view lots of cool patterns when we focus on the Ones-Digits,
nicknamed the Ones-ies. Tens-digit (Tensies) patterns also show up in different
3-D ways and when kids put them together they create the times tables. Other
places that we see number wheels are car mileage odometers, gas and electric
meters, and combination locks where the last wheel shows the Ones-ies.
Focus on having Fun and Playing on the Wheel. Be Curious. As kids get familiar with the Number Wheels, patterns become obvious. Learning to notice patterns is a natural and important learning strategy. Here are some, but not all of patterns you may find:
Two groups (and Fives)
- Twos, Fours, Sixes, and Eights:
- use
2468 in different orders and then 0.
- Eights
are backwards Twos, both make Pentagons
- Sixes
are backwards Fours, both make Stars
- Ones, Threes, Sevens, and Nines
- Touch
numbers 1-9 each once and then 0
- Nines
are backwards Ones and make decagons (10 sided figures)
- Sevens
are backwards Threes (both make SuperStars)
- Fives just go up and down from 0 to
5 and 5 to 0.
Forward 8 on the wheel is the same as back 2, a shortcut
path. This is true for all numbers that add up to 10.
Look for patterns that indicate when the Tens are going up,
Similar patterns show up on tic-tac-toe squares and EZ Times
Table in my book.
- Going
to or past 0
- Different
sounds
- Going
to a smaller number
- UP is Same-UP
Pattern (to right of wheel)
indicates Tens go up by 1.
Example for Twos: Same, Same, Same, Same, UP
