Another day, another roundup of the best paid iPhone and iPad apps that are available for free for a limited time. We’ve found eight different apps for you to check out on Thursday, and they’re all premium applications that are available as free downloads right now. Don’t waste any time though, because these sales could be over at any time.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple.

Math Balance : Games For Kids

$7.99 in-app purchase to unlock the full game is currently free.

Mental Math is fun with Math Balance – kids help Toby reach home by balancing bridges and while they have fun, they also learn about equality/comparison, gain flexibility with numbers and practice skills that are essential for understanding algebra.

This mental math game with 30 levels will help your child get necessary fluidity with numbers. Your child will learn things like addition can happen in any order for the same result, or that sum of different numbers can add up to be the same number. They will also end up having to use different number strategies, such as bridging and compensation which can significantly speed up their mental math computations.

These are the skills covered by Math Balance –

– Developing meaning of equal sign, using, greater than and less than sign
– Set up numbers in their expanded form
– Commutative property of addition and, later, using it and expanded form as a strategy to add ex: 67+25 = 60+7+20+5 = 80+12 =92
– Missing Addend strategies:x+b=c, where x is to be found, situations where difference is unknown, where there is a bigger unknown and where there is a smaller unknown -one step problems
– Showing that addition and subtraction are inverse; 4+5=9, 9-5=4
– Use only doubles, Use only even/odd numbers to get to a total
– 1 step word problems -Change unknown, Result unknown, Start unknown
– add a string of two-digit numbers (up to four numbers) by applying place value strategies and properties of operations.
Example: 43 + 34 + 57 + 24 = __
– Using concrete models to show addition and subtraction
– Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900
– Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction
– Multiplication as repeated addition

For those who follow the Core curriculum, this maps to the following core standards – 2.OA.B.2, 2.NBT.4, 2.OA.2, 1.OA.6, 2.OA.C.3, 2.OA.1, 2.NBT.6, 2.NBT.7, 2.NBT.8, 3.NBT.2.

Broken Lens

Normally $0.99.

Broken Lens is a creative tool that generates a unique shatter pattern for an augmented view of your world. Snap a shot and share directly to Instagram.

Each press of the reshatter button selects a randomised point for the center of the shatter then spreads a variable number of triangular panels outward. Each panel is subtley augmented to form abstracted interruptions which create visually broken, and often stunning, images. The nature of the process means no two lens breaks are the same.

The Broken Lens Flash feature enhances the individual panels even further. The transformation in each panel cause minute delays during capture: leaving some over exposed with the camera flash; some post-processed using Apples colour optimisation; and even some in the dark.

Use Broken Lens to make a statement about your world, today.
