Intro to Math Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

An ingenious mix of the old and the new, the Intro to Math app by Montessorium includes five separate interactive math skill games, recommended for children age 2-6. Within each activity, multiple layers exist to reinforce skills such as proportion, counting, number writing, number recognition, and number order. Topics are presented as fun, intuitive games using sliding blocks, numbers and dots. The games are based on time-tested Montessori teaching methods.

The proportion game scatters wooden blocks of different lengths with a shake of the phone, and challenges the child to place them in the correct order, with a pleasing chime each time the pieces are moved. The counting game challenges the child to recognize the number of blocks. The number writing asks the child to trace a number "in the sand"; a scraping sound is played as the child traces. The number recognition game displays the numbers one through ten and asks the child to touch a given number The number order game plays out the number one through ten then asks the child to scatter them with a shake of the phone and re-order them

Both my 2 and 4 year old enjoyed the game. It is pricey but recommended.
