Good for place value. . . maybe – Hands-On Math Base Ten Blocks Review

My daughter is ready to learn to carry, so I want to reinforce place value first. So far with this app, the blocks are fine, but too much of the work is done for you. When the blocks are placed in the columns, the math problem at the bottom (in the blue boxes) counts them up. It even assumes that the carrying has been applied, even if the 'ones' column has more than 9 cubes. She might get the idea of carrying with this app, as well as borrowing, but we will see how well it converts to actual practice. Also, when the hundred column reaches "10", it does not create a 'thousands' column, which does little to reinforce the idea that each column can only have 0-9. (As I was writing she just showed me that the addition problem at the bottom didn't match the cubes at the top because they did the carrying before she did. She is a bit confused.) I will re-review when she has had a chance to use it for a while. I don't write many reviews, but I tried this app without any input, so I thought I'd put a little something in for the next person.
