Kids Number, Addition & Subtraction Math Ed Games

What it is: a set of 3 activities for developing early math skills (counting, ordering, identifying the correct number of objects).

What you do with it: the 'meerkats' game: identify quantities (1-20) and associate them with numbers, the 'frogs' game: follow the numbers in the correct order, the 'ostriches' game: identify the correct number of objects. The progress in each game can be tracked separately for each user of the app (requires registration).

What we liked: the concept (combining simple game-like activities with learning), cute characters, the rewards system, stats/progress tracking, automatic adjustment of the difficulty levels, audio instructions and clues.

What we didn't like: the activities are rather simple and can quickly become repetitive. We didn't find the ordering ('frogs') activity particularly well presented. Some animal rights conscious parents may find parts of the 'ostriches' activity objectionable.
