Endless Numbers
© 2014 Originator
Update August 2014: Originator has released a School Version with all content unlocked, sound control and one fixed price ($11.99). Update July 2014: Originator has released 75 new numbers (to 100), more than tripling the content. Following the success of Endless Alphabet (CTR Feb 2013), this free version of Endless Numbers (also called Endless 123) humorously introduces numerals in the context of simple addition math equations. Each numeral jumps to life when touched, with a set of dots that nicely illustrate the number behind the numeral. When the math equation parts are dragged and dropped into place, a process that can be shared by more than one child, a funny animated skit provides context for each number. For the number 4, for example, children see four babies in a stroller. The first 5 numbers are free to try. Larger numbers, up to 25, are available for purchase for $3.99. Missing are high scores or timers. The highly engaging format lets children explore at their own pace. Besides the in-app sales feature which teases children with the locked activities, we noticed a "rate us 5 stars" message. Despite these commercial drawbacks, Endless Numbers presents a valuable number experience. See also Endless Learning Academy.
