What I noticed first was the bright coloured images, made of clay, so carefully put together – beautiful engaging graphics and clear simple instructions. Going through the activities, I found it very easy to use. The similar questions asked in many different ways to check understanding – just brilliant. The use of counters, blocks, equations, sorting colours, sizes, greater than, less than, so many wonderful questions, you can see that a lot of time and thought has gone into the preparation of educational content. After you have completed a number of activities you are rewarded with a ‘feature’ for your own Jungle, you get to either pick a type of tree or an animal. The animals (oh and their names are just gorgeous) do a variety of activities – they are just so much fun – a real highlight.
Another feature I enjoyed about this app is if your child makes a mistake, it is highlight with a thin red line around the outside. Upon getting it correct it guides you through the question and the correct answer – reinforcing the learning just achieved
Even though this is a great Math app for Kindergarten children, preschoolers would benefit from it too! This app will remain on my iPad for a very long time.
