Adding Apples
App_Mom
This is a beautifully designed app. Our 6-year old daughter with special needs enjoys this app very much. When counting the apples, they change colors after being touched. This really helps her keep track of which she has counted and increases her accuracy. Also, she has been self-selecting the higher numbers--higher than we have been working on. The app's ease of use gives her confidence and lets her control the problem set-up. Evidently she was bored with the 1+1 problems we had been giving her. I love that she was able to show us she was ready for more of a challenge.
Highest recommendation from my family

This app is wonderful for easily, clearly and concisely teaching the math concept! Allows the child to do math mentally or, when needed to actually count it out. And when counting, touching the apples makes them change so it's easy to keep track of which have been counted. LOVE IT! Well worth the small cost. And, while you're at it, buy them all - Adding Apple, Subtracting Sardines and Multiplying Acorns. I promise you'll love 'em like we do.
More options for visual learner

Love the 3-D graphics and the ability to see addition in action. As you touch the apples to count the total sum, the apples are wrapped as if they were bought and ready to be packed home which is visually appealing. When you choose the correct answer, you get the same number of coins as the sum and that is one more opportunity to see the total quantity. That's reinforcement. Kids are motivated when they can collect a coin for each correct answer chosen in order to earn trophies and parents get to track their progress and accuracy after each game. To make it perfect for my son who is a visual learner but has working memory issues, I would like to suggest the number sentence be displayed as he chooses the numbers and the operator '+' so that he can see the numbers and the corresponding quantities of apples at the same time. Would also like to have an option where the wrapped apples are numbered in sequence as he touches/counts them. I believe this additional feature will speed up his learning. Thank you.
Great app even for young children
Allie The iMum
We are using this app to help my son practice his counting skills. We had started using the "finger counting" method, but found this was far easier. I like the fact that it is multi-user and has lots of opportunities for hands-on practice. My little boy is now lining things up and counting them.
Great

My almost 7y is working on adding and he really liked it. He still needs to count some so it is nice he can chose to count the apples or just click to choose the answer quickly.
Fun Multisensory Math! Great for Kids with Autism!

My girls love this app. It is very multi-sensory and really helps to give a visual representation of math concepts. Perfect for children with autism and other special needs.
Love the instant feedback
KTBertel
I am a special education teacher and want instant feedback with my students. This app allows me to have data as I have student "play" as they learn their math facts. It tells me how many they have incorrect and the percent for my goals as well. It also allows for students earn rewards in steps not just be over quickly. I love knowing a student will work for that internal reward, the trophy, and not stop until they see it. Love your apps!!
Amazing
