This iPad app is FREE today and designed for kindergarten. There are 5 games in this app. Bouncing Balls & Do the Dotty help kids count to 30. Numberella has kids compare written numbers from 1 – 10. Fishoonka develops the concepts of greater than, less than and equal to. In order to play Toot Toot Train kids need to decide whether to add or subtract. As they play, kids earn rewards to add to their “My Stuff” shelves.
All games are consistent with expectations for kindergarten in the Common Core Standards; however, the standards for counting are a bit more rigorous than the content presented in the 2 counting games. The standards expect kids to count to 100 by ones & tens and to able to begin from any given number within that sequence (instead of always starting at 1). The 2 games that compare numbers are well matched to the standards, as is the addition/subtraction game. Nicely done!!
Common Core Standards met:
- K.CC.6 – Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1
- K.CC.7 – Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
- K.OA.2 – Add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
