## What is Kids Count?

Four educational games and five practice modules can be used to enhance and reinforce the practice of Multibase Arithmetic Blocks, also known as Base 10 Blocks.

For kids of all ages, the app can be set to not use blocks above a certain value, so the younger ones can enjoy ones and tens, and those who want a challenge can throw Thousands into the mix.
Terminology can also be set to use Units/Longs/Flats/Cubes or Ones/Tens/Hundreds/Thousands - to match what the student has been taught in the classroom.

Players can enjoy tasks such as:
- Opening chests full of blocks at Treasure Beach
- Rolling dice to launch a UFO at Dice Mountain
- Discovering dragons, dinosaurs, and more with Mystery Picture
- Shopping for fun objects at the Town Market, and throwing them in a treasure chest to discover again later.

To practice core concepts, there are also 5 more focused areas:
- Make the number shown on the screen
- Listen to your device and make the number it reads aloud
- Add the two numbers together
- Subtract two numbers
- Trade blocks for higher and lower values to make the number shown

Finally, there is a simple chart with blocks provided for when a parent, guardian, or teacher wants to run their own games with the student.

## Key features

- Four educational games
- Five practice modules
- Adaptable to different age groups
- Customizable terminology
- Interactive gameplay
- Parent/teacher resource chart

### 4/5 — Awesome on the go

*2025-11-20*

We homeschool on the go sometimes and don’t want to haul around a set of base ten blocks. 

To the developer, if you could add in a decimal place values mat would be awesome. And maybe an easier way to clear the practice mat.

### 5/5 — Sooo good

*2025-11-14*

Very good it’s so fun like… …I’m playing it all the time! So I rate it 5 stars!

### 5/5 — How do is no 10,000 or 100,000

*2024-11-25*

I like the game it’s that there’s no hundred thousand or 10,000 so it got me really bummed out since I’m in third grade and I’m already learning the 10,000s and hundred thousand so I’m having a really great experience but I don’t like how it doesn’t have 10,000 or 100,000

### 5/5 — Amazing Resource for Teachers

*2023-03-29*

This is like having thousands of number blocks in my back pocket all the time. I love how there are the different modes. Very helpful for teaching addition and subtraction.

### 4/5 — Additional Settings?

*2022-09-28*

Would be nice to be able to:
1. Be able to select single digit for addition and subtraction;
2. Be able to put more than 10 blocks and glue when all the blocks are added. 
3. Have the setting to enable manually moving the glued block instead of automatically moving the glued block to the left.

### 3/5 — Liking it so far

*2021-04-12*

But .... there is no hammer to break up the higher denominations in practice subtraction - why not????

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2020-12-04*

Hi, this is a great app. However, it crashes when a hammer is used to break up a ten in the town market scenario. Do you think you could update it? Thanks.

**Developer response:** An update has been released that should fix this issue, please let me know if you run into any others.

### 3/5 — So much potential!

*2020-04-09*

My son loves this game and was learning and understanding the concepts at a speedy rate.  We loved it! But the “Town Market” section keeps closing out the program on the second time when  you use the hammer to break apart the units.  We’re really bummed.

Also, the settings are kept in a grown-up section which requires clicking on a designated picture. Clicking on the picture does nothing, rendering the settings as unreachable.

### 5/5 — Love itttttt

*2020-04-07*

I I love this app it teaches me a lot on god you got to check this out  if you’re struggling with  place values
