© 2012 Little Bit Studio, LLC
Third in the series, Bugs and Numbers contains 18 games and activities, designed around a bug city. The app is organized into three basic stages, to grow with your child from basic counting to early fractions. Stage 1 features: number and shape identity at the circus; practice left and right on an old arcade machine; seek and find while counting at a junkyard; tap and count while serving food at the local diner; paint by numbers at the gallery; and match numbers and shapes at the hotel. Features of Stage 2 include: count to 100 at the garage; trace numbers and shapes at school; arrange sequencing on a xylophone; comparisons at the theater; sort, count, and tally at the store; and math with 10 on the ferry. And Stage 3 features: US currency on the old claw machine; practice time at the train station; find patterns in the zen garden; work with fractions at the pizzeria; measure length and weight in the lab; and addition and subtraction on the gameshow. The app also features 36 achievements and rewards and multiple user profiles. See Bugs and Buttons (CTR February 2012) and Bugs and Bubbles (CTR August 2012). See http://youtu.be/aTRiZ3dHxkA.
