About Me

Welcome to Apples and Apps. In old school style, we used to bring apples to the teacher. Now bring the teacher to you. As a Mom, I'm Keeping You Up-To-Date on the Latest Educational FREE and On SALE iPhone & iPad Apps. Why educational apps? Just like you, I have kids. And although they love Angry Birds, I'd like to see them learn something as well. And no, I have absolutely NO affiliation with Apple or any of its products… although I am writing this on a MacBook.

Motion Math Zoom - App of the Day


Motion Math Zoom
An animal adventure through the world of numbers! 
Give your child a chance to play with numbers - they'll have a blast zooming through the number line as they master place value.

Brought to you by the creators of Motion Math, the award-winning educational iPhone and iPad app, featured in the Wall Street Journal, Children’s Technology Review, Wired.com, TechCrunch and many more.

Motion Math Zoom's zoomable, stretchable number line is missing some numbers - it's up to your child to put the numbers back where they belong. The new game uses concrete objects to represent abstract numbers: from dinosaurs in the thousands down to amoebas in the thousandths. Fun animal animations and sound effects help elementary school children master the number line. 

Features
* Free to try 6 levels
* Starts at basic numbers and moves into negatives and decimals
* Helper character - gives hints when you need them 
* High scores, stats, and Game Center integration
* Great graphics and animations
* Fakeouts and for advanced learners, a timed challenge featuring...The Needle

Super-engaging? Check. Supported by research? Indeed: the game teaches place value, a fundamental concept that will allow learners to develop flexible mental computation, numerical estimation, and quantitative judgment. Recent research suggests that understanding the number line has a profound impact on a children's future math ability. 

"My child absolutely loves this learning app...I would much rather load my iPad with these types of games than the next bubble popping game or Angry Birds." - Rob Rosen, parent

Play with numbers – play with Motion Math Zoom! Recommended Ages: 4-7, 8-10, 11-12
