What Users Love About the App

“I used this product when I taught Kindergarten (it was an ICT class). We used this on the SmartBoard after discussing adding numbers (and then again after introducing subtraction). It is very young child friendly – audio allows students to hear the directions, as well as see the words on the screen.”

“It can be used as a resource to reinforce the concept or for practice. While they do offer Level 2 – Facts to 12, my advanced learners got bored with this game pretty fast.”

“These four games covering addition and subtraction for facts up to 12 are engaging and will hold the attention of learners in the target audience. Young players will enjoy the catchy graphics and games and will come back for more.”

“Addition and subtraction skills are age-appropriate and built into the games. Players choose from two difficulty levels on each game (facts up to 6 or 12), providing varied levels of difficulty.”

“There are instructions for each game at the start. There are printable pre- and post-tests for extension.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I do not think this game alone would teach students addition and subtraction.”

“No option for help in the middle of the game. Some games provide additional help by displaying counting cards as objects are used.”
