App Description

"I'm a teacher of 4th and 5th graders and this is one of the best math apps I've found...I've watched kids who have struggled mightily with decimals suddenly understand how the whole system works...Every classroom should have this app." - Michelle Martin, 4th/5th grade teacher

(Hey Teachers! You can get all the levels of this game, plus student progress data, by signing up for an account at motionmathgames.com.)

Master numbers, negatives, and decimals with this animal adventure! Motion Math Zoom features the world's most interactive number line - kids have a blast exploring numbers as they gain a deep understanding of place value.

FUN NUMBER LINE EXPLORATION
Motion Math Zoom's zoomable, stretchable number line is missing some numbers - it's up to the player to put numbers back where they belong. The new game uses animals to represent abstract numbers: from dinosaurs in the thousands down to amoebas in the thousandths.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS LOVE IT
"So incredibly intuitive that my 6 year-old dived right into negative numbers, never having been introduced to them before. I can't think of a more natural way to really see negative numbers and decimals. This app should be required material in schools!" - iTunes reviewer JoshH2
