Up to 100
© 2014 Marbotic
Ideal for early childhood learning settings, this early number app is designed to help children learn to identify and pronounce each number from 0 to 100. The activities were inspired by Maria Montessori's original beads, and the clever design lets children actively construct the number, as they hear the label. There are three activities (each with three levels). They deal with the ten and one places; find a number in a series of digits; recognize numbers written out; recognize the pronunciation of numbers; and manipulate quantities with a set of beads. A control panel lets parents or children toggle between different languages (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish), change the font, and adjust the number line, in case you want to focus on numbers greater than 50, for example. There is also a wooden toy available that interacts with your tablet. If you purchase the toy, the app can be downloaded for free. From a pedagogical point of view this is a very exciting app. But you need to know that there is no game element. Think of this app as a math tool.
