## What is Beyond Cats! Grade 1 Math?

4.5/5 Stars - the iMums

Your child will engage in a variety of content each time he or she plays Beyond Cats! There are almost 200 question types, with THOUSANDS of possible question and answer configurations. Never a dull moment. Questions and topics are introduced progressively, so the app continues to provide challenging questions even after the child has been using the app for months.

The Beyond Cats! series of apps showcases a unique multiple-choice game-play that allows the player to self-check his or her answers at ANY time - just slide out the answer puzzle tab!

When you slide out the answer puzzle tab, check to see if the puzzle pieces are in the right place. If the animal puzzle looks jumbled, that shows that there are some wrong answers. Tap the mis-placed pieces to send them back to the game. The answer you were looking for will be available again. Keep on playing! How many colorful plants can you collect from around the world?

This format encourages delayed gratification and critical thinking skills such as strategic competence, adaptive reasoning, spatial reasoning and a sense of independence. All excellent life-learning skills.
