  • Adding Apples

    I liked how the apples were covered once they were all put together, but i would like to see a number sentence up on the screen to show what numbers you were adding together. I also don’t like how you can’t use a number for another problem until you finish adding all remaining numbers together.
  • Great way to learn addition

    I love how the apples get wrapped as you count them, and how the two numbers being added come in as different apples. It is both visual and tactile, as much as an app can be. I would love to see this expanded to include subtraction -- maybe by eating the apples? It would be nice if there was a little more variety in rewards for doing the math -- decorate a tree house or some other reward system. Overall, a great app for learning addition facts.

  • A perfect intro to addition

    We’ve got quite a few math applications and the problem we’ve had with them is that the apps often start moving into more advanced mathematics when we’re really looking to improve our son’s confidence with the very basics before moving on.

    Some design choices I thought were particularly nice:
    - only uses the numbers 1-9 (though the total can be over 9, obviously)
    - gives the option to only use a subset of those numbers if your child is just starting out.
    - makes the child use all the numbers to finish a round. If they pick just the small ones to start, they’ll be left with only big ones at the end. One way or another, they’ll get practice with all of them.
    - trophies for the number of answers completed was a nice idea. We got through the first 25 questions fast and our son is eager to do the next 25 to see the silver trophy.

  • great virtual manipulatives

    love the graphics- can see this being an effective tool for many of the classrooms I service
  • Engaging Math Tool

    A hit with our 5-year grandson! He is motivated to earn each of the trophies.
  • Great app for adding with manipulatives!

    I really like this app for elementary aged kids! It does a nice job with helping kids learn to add by giving them apples to count. I love that you can keep track of student progress and control how the numbers that they have to add. I would love to see the option for more than 3 different kids to monitor. A fun game would also be a neat addition.

  • Visually stunning app for hands on addition

    My kindergarten students love this app. There is nothing else like it on the App Store. I like that kids can touch each apple to count and that the apples change so kids can't accidentally count them twice. It's great that you can have 3 different accounts. I would like to see the number sentence displayed to reinforce the concept even more.

  • Great Addition Practice!

    Adding Apples is a great app to use for my young students who are learning basic addition. I can easily check on their progress at any time. The students love to work towards earning the trophies, and this is a goal that each child can achieve! The 3-D graphics are great and keep the students engaged.
