Fingerprint Digital announces newest collaboration with Sylvan Learning

By Emily On March 14, 2014 · Add Comment

We love Fingerprint Digital, the developers behind such great apps as Kids Learn Mandarin and Miniscule. They’ve recently teamed up with Sylvan Learning, the leading provider of personal education for kids from kindergarten through grade 12. The result is a group of eight Sylvan-approved educational apps – best part, they’re FREE! Critter Cruise (ages 6 – 9): Inspires math and language learning as kids take a landmark filled road trip across North America, filling up their gas tank by correctly answering questions.

Zorbit’s Math Adventure Preschool App Review – Math Learning That’s Out of This World

By Emily On February 18, 2014 · Add Comment

I’m really the last person that should be helping my preschooler with her early math skills. I can’t count higher than 20 (number of fingers & toes combined), I generally over-tip at restaurants because percentages make me nervous, and the Dollar Tree is my best friend because, well, everything is only $1 and it makes budgeting a breeze. There are plenty of math apps in the App Store to help where I can’t, but I’ve found that many of them are just not a good fit for kiddos who aren’t yet in kindergarten. It’s easy for preschoolers to grasp simple number recognition and basic counting, but to build a strong math foundation they have to be introduced to more complex concepts early on. The skills also have to be wrapped in a context that’s relatable and fun in order to keep young players engaged and absorbing what they’re learning. Read Full Review →

Mystery Math Museum Proves Math Apps Can Be Fun

By Emily On December 31, 2013 · Add Comment

Finding a quality math app that isn’t dryer than a burnt English muffin is hard. That’s why Artgig Studios made waves earlier this year with the release of Mystery Math Town, an engaging and fully customizable math app that also touches on several other early-learning topics. Well, Artgig has done it again with their October release of Mystery Math Museum. Using what worked in the original, this newer app switches gears a little to build math skills on players ages 6 to 12. The characters are just as fun and unique as in the first game, and the multi-user profiles let kiddos adjust game play based on their math knowledge. Follow a friendly ghost as he tries to capture dragonflies that are loose in different themed museums. To open doors and earn talking portraits, players collect numbers and solve equations – working on addition, subtraction, and multiplication. At [...]

Quick Math+ App Review – Quick Math Made Even Quicker

By Emily On December 3, 2013 · Add Comment

Let me repeat this again, for the folks who may not have read it before: I loathe math. I’m awful at it, it confuses me, it makes my brain hurt. If the App Store existed when I was a kid I may be singing a different song about math, but fortunately for kids these days they don’t have to go through the torture of textbooks and private tutors to help learn math skills. (I’m not exaggerating – math is my own personal torture.) Last February we reviewed Sakura Quick Math, a well-executed math app that had a few minor flaws. We liked the basic format of the app – math questions that players can answer by writing the problems anywhere on the screen – but a few technical glitches were holding it back from being a real All Star app. The folks over at Shiny Things noticed and in [...]
