Thanks for the question. I am the lead ...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />Thanks for the question. I am the lead designer of the UpSparks cards so might be able to add here too :)<br /><br />As educators we got so fed up with poor quality flash cards. Cards that were created cheaply with little to no thought put into pedagogy or learning. This meant cards that were see-through (a hugely common flaw), had tiny text (impossible to see from a distance), combined multiple facts on each card (a sneaky way to cheapen production) and overall, were created to sell boxes rather than to teach learners.<br /><br />Our cards have been created to ensure all of these faults do not exist. We carefully designed our cards to be the absolute best available. This meant using the highest quality materials and design standards. The addition of color-coding to link visual stimuli to math facts. And the creation of a free library of growing digital and printable resources that can be used with the cards. We have really made sure that learning and quality are put first!<br /><br />Oh yes, and as Shana mentioned, the app is pretty cool too :)Nickhttp://www.upsparks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969821499728229660.post-22702941561167307022018-09-15T16:48:42.531-04:002018-09-15T16:48:42.531-04:00There’s a cool virtual reality component to these....There’s a cool virtual reality component to these.ScaffoldedMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991099683629425350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969821499728229660.post-46644242309086257342018-09-15T14:58:07.360-04:002018-09-15T14:58:07.360-04:00besides the traditional flash cards, how are these...besides the traditional flash cards, how are these different?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039870446894413090noreply@blogger.com
