Montessori Numbers is designed to help build sound mathematical foundations in children aged 3-7 by using a concrete, visually significant material inspired from the Montessori methodology.
Montessori Numbers offers a sequence of guided activities that gradually help children reinforce their skills. Each activity offers several levels of increasing complexity.
• Learn to count up to 999
• Experiment with quantities and learn their names
• Learn the numerals and their names
• Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities
• Understand the decimal system and place value
• Master the numerical order
• Learn to trace numbers
Montessori Numbers builds on the iPad’s touch feature, and uses verbal feedback for more efficient learning. The app can pronounce any number between 0 and 1009 (American, British and Australian voices available).

Common Core State Standard
___________
This app will help your child in learning the following Common Core State Standards domains:
• Counting and Cardinality (K.CC)
• Operations and Algebraic Thinking (K.OA, 1.OA.1/2/5)
• Number & Operations in Base Ten (K.BNT,1.NBT.1/2/4/5/6, 2.NBT.1/2/3/5/8/9, 3.NBT.1/2). The app is great to deal with place value.

Activities
___________
• Hundred Board
A great activity to help your child master the numerical order of 1-1000, and to introduce numerical patterns. The hundred board displays 100 numbers in a square. The first number (1,101,201,...) can be chosen so it can customized for each child
• 1 to 20
This activity is designed to introduce numbers.
3 levels of difficulty: 0 to 5, 0 to 10 and 11 to 20.
• Quantity
In this activity, kids associate quantities to numbers by manipulating units, bars of 10, and squares of 100 to match a given number which is pronounced and optionally displayed.
Levels of difficulty: 0 to 9, 10 to 99, 100 to 999 or custom
• Numerals
In this activity, number names are to be associated with numerals. As a number name is pronounced, kids are invited to build the corresponding numeral. Kids can freely experiment with numerals and hear the names associated with each numeral they build. The quantity representing the numbers built is also displayed to reinforce the association between quantity and numerals.
Levels of difficulty: 0 to 9, 10 to 99, 100 to 999 or custom
• Numerals (from Quantity)
In this activity, a quantity is to be associated with a given numeral. The child must build the number that matches the quantity displayed. This is the most complex activity because the child must count the quantity displayed, and then build the number using the numerals.
Levels of difficulty: 0 to 9, 10 to 99, 100 to 999 or custom
• Number Tracing
Learn to trace numbers with animations that follow the child's touch. Several options (size, difficulty, tracing style, show/hide model) are available to tailor the activity to your needs.
• Building Block Game:
A game can be started at the end of each activity (availability can be modified in settings). There is no “real” goal to this game - kids can play freely with the materials, thus becoming more familiar with them.

Developers I love u XD

Hey developers this game is very fun beside Writing Wizard. But the funny part is that sometimes when I drag my pictures, it goes up really fast XD And for that, I’m giving this a 5 star XD :D
NOT Montessori style
stickershocked
I was excited to find this app bundle which seemed to promise simple tracing, number and spelling activities. From the preview pictures it seemed the child could simply trace letters with a colored line over the black letter. In fact, the app uses a carnival-worth if sounds and flashing graphics. Even if you turn off most of the sound elements, you still have the flashing lights with cascades it stars and confetti each time you complete tracing a letter or spelling a word. There is _nothing_ in the style of these apps like the simplicity and self-correcting method of Montessori learning methods. These apps are over stimulating and will habituate your child to expecting flashing stars and applause every time they trace a letter. This is more video game than learning tool. I will never use these apps and regret paying almost $9 for the bundle.
Could be better

Ok as a teaching tool. Hangs regularly. No reward system and stacking game does not hold the children's attention. A disappointment after the huge success of the crosswords.
7 year old daughter focused well on this app
keepsmesmiling
This morning I introduced Montessori Numbers to my seven year old daughter, entering 2nd grade. She started on the beginning levels and proceeded on her own intuitively throughout the app. At one point she turned to me and said, "Look Mom, I counted to 950!". I like the app because it's simple to follow, but has a flexible number of settings for activity, style and difficulty. Adding options for "flowers, diamonds and pearls" admittedly added engagement from a girls' point of view. Congratulations to this developer for consistent, educational, high quality releases. I hope to see more. --Mom of two girls, blogger, and app enthusiast.
Great app for learning numbers

This is one of the best apps we have tried for learning early numbers and counting. The app combines structured counting activities with fun free play rewards. Different activities are available for learning all the way up to 1000.
Excellent teaching tool

Just like the tools they use at my daughter's Montessori school. But less messy. i.e. There aren't counting beads laying all over the living room.
Help for struggling math learners

This app is not fancy, true, but it is designed to teach young children number sense. It is especially helpful for the 1st or 2nd grader who is struggling with math concepts.
