All the characters are made of bean bags!
That's not actually true but it's how the rest of the SAFK team slide boring, educational apps past Ron. Designed for use by children in Grades 4 to 9, this app is normally $2.99 but is free today AND tomorrow, so our Australian and other friends outside of North America should have ample time to download it.
"But Deanne!" I hear you cry, "it's a Math dictionary, not a Maths dictionary, how can it be useful to those of us outside North America?" Well, aside from the fact that mathematics is a universal language, information on measurements and temperature is provided in metric units as well as the ones that Americans cling to. U.S. and Canadian currencies are both outlined. With the ability to 'favorite' items and add notes to them (which you can also print or email), this has the capacity to be a pretty handy dandy notebook.
iPad only.
