Note that Edoki was formerly called Les Trois Elles Interactive. Maria Montessori would probably have loved this set of innovative activities, especially the number spitting game where you place your fingers on both sides of the multi-touch screen. There's also a set of dynamic number tables that help you visualize the underlying patterns in numbers and number relationships. But she probably would not have liked the rather cluttered and complicated first menu. But don't let that slow you down from downloading this app immediately, especially if you have an interest in helping young children learn about math concepts. Content covers four concepts: addition, subtraction, doubles/halves, and odd/even, up to 99. Features include an age-gated parent menu, that gives you the ability to toggle between 11 languages. You can also adjust the challenge, sound options and amount of help. See also Montessori Math: Add & Subtract Large Numbers, the big brother app to this one.
