### 4/5 — A very helpful app for kids but more activates

*2023-03-13, version 2.2.2*

So my toddler is really happy because he is only 3 and he is already learning addition but he is starting to get tierd of the app because there are barely any activities to do. There are fun one like for example if Susan had 4 apples and she ate one how many would she have left? These questions they ask are also getting easy so I wish they were a little harder when your child is doing them

### 4/5 — Our toddlers love it. So do we!

*2013-07-04, version 1.1.2*

great educational app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app - my 4 year old loves it

*2012-09-24, version 1.1*

The extra skill levels and variety of engaging math activities make this program a true gem. My daughter has been playing this game non-stop. Controls are very simple and take full advantage of the iPad's capabilities. The music and voice over are well done. You can quickly swipe to move between the various math activities, which include addition, subtraction, basic ordering and pattern matching. This app is a true gem!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2012-06-27, version 1.0.5*

My 16 month old can solve inequalities with the see saw, count along with the swing, and feed the hippo! She also loves to count the duckies on the slide.  My only complaint is that the app will cut out in the middle of her playing.

### 5/5 — Great number teaching app

*2012-04-05, version 1.0.5*

Preschool math is really just about learning numbers and basic counting… and this app is a great support for those things. The graphics are stunning. Recommend for toddlers and preschoolers :)

### 5/5 — 2 year old loves it

*2011-12-09, version 1.0.5*

This and angry birds are his favorite apps. He's really learning the math with this. He loves the positive reinforcement, the ducks going down the slide, and the mice on the seesaw.  He loves the dog the most.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2011-11-06, version 1.0.5*

The duck and hippo pages are the best.  Like how they snuck in the math concepts into the fun park activities.  Makes them think!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-10-22, version 1.0.5*

Very enjoyable, elegant, and intuitive.  A great way for my daughter to learn these concepts.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2011-10-20, version 1.0.5*

My 5 year old is hard to teach addition and subtraction to, he wants to memorize instead of learn the concept.  This app is making a difference, it IS simple...that's why it works for him.  The other apps were too advanced for a beginner or only taught counting, which he is already good at.  If you want your pre-schooler to learn simple math, I recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, Engaging, Educational

*2011-08-30, version 1.0.4*

App Description:

In this app children journey through a variety of learning and activity screens with three different levels to choose from with a friendly blue bear as their guide.  Children can count the number of swings a bunny makes, practice simple addition through word problems with manipulatives (ducks), order puppies from smallest to largest, practice subtraction with word problems and manipulatives (fruit falling from a tree), choose colorful pictures to fill in the missing spot in a pattern, help mice jump onto a teeter totter so that both sides are equal, and practice counting again by feeding a hungry hippo various food items.

This app focuses more on conceptual/manipulative-based understanding of math than it does drilling specific math facts.  This is just what I’m looking for in the young years, a comfortable familiarity with numbers and mastery of the numerals (at least up to 9).  There is a lot of strength to be found here in building the thinking, pre-math skills needed before tackling more advanced problems.  For example, the mice on the teeter totter start developing early equivalency skills.

The lower levels of Park Math can be used for preschool/kindergarten age students, while level three (only available for iPad) could even be used for first grade – the ordering, addition, and subtraction problems are in the higher range of digits and are appropriate for that level, though the design might be a bit too young for ‘big-kids’ in that age group – depends on your child.

What We Liked:

Everything.  The design is excellent; navigation is smooth as butter, unforced, and flexible.  At any time children can move to the next (or previous) activity screen or access a visual menu that allows them (or parents) to change the level of difficulty or the activity set.  Because a variety of levels are available that increase in difficulty (for most activities – some remain fairly basic – like feeding the hippo) this app is a great one to get while your children are small – an app to grow with.  The background music is light instrumentals of classic children’s songs and is very calm – perfect.

I love the colors and the bright, child-friendly characters and art.  All of the visual manipulatives are interactive, they say the numbers they are labeled with when touched, they move around to help your child answer the question when they are tapped (ducks climbing up ladders in addition, apples falling from the tree in subtraction).  There are lots of fun interactive extras from the home screen itself to the popping groundhog your child can tap while watching the bunny on the swing count up.  The feeding the hippo activity is a HUGE hit in our house and is one that my five-year-old turns to more than any of the others.  I’m so glad that it reinforces her counting skills every time she plays it.

What We Didn’t Like:

Nothing.  Fabulous app – one of the best we’ve tried, there are no complaints here.

Overall:

This is the first Duck Duck Moose app we’ve downloaded, and I am thrilled by the quality of their work and the amount of content and interactive learning activities included.  Park Math is vibrant, easy-to-use, and very educational.  I’m a happy homeschooling mom!

Disclosure: I received a promo code to download this app for free.

### 5/5 — Great app for toddlers

*2011-08-26, version 1.0.3*

One of my sons favorites.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2011-08-14, version 1.0.3*

I LOVE the apps from Duck, duck moose they are easy to use beautiful and educational. This is a great app! There are activities for lots of core math principles - counting, addition, subtraction, patterns etc. I love that there are three levels of difficulty so my 3yo and my 6yo can both play with this app on their individual level. The pattern game totally rocks and the addition and subtraction games are wonderful. Can't say enough good things about this app! It's such a great way to introduce and reinforce basic math concepts! 

I would love to see this app expanded to have a better introductory division game (the mice on the teeter totter is just okay and there's not much difference in the difficulty levels) I'd also like to see better sorting (the biggest to smallest game is also just okay) and I'd like to see some shapes, same/different, and measuring to complete the core math curriculum.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-06-04, version 2.2.1*

TO EASY

### 1/5 — Not usable on my iPad mini

*2013-09-07, version 1.1.2*

No matter what we do the game auto rotate's to the non-landscape mode and we cannot see half of the game.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2013-08-07, version 1.1.2*

My child found it repetitive and not challenging.  I agree with the other reviewer.  Kids can play and learn very little just by randomly tapping from three choices for the addition and subtraction activities.  If this is an award winning educational app, the reviewers must have odd criteria.

### 1/5 — Multiple touch

*2013-06-10, version 1.1.2*

The answers are one out of three choices.  My 4 year old just presses each answer until he gets it correct, no learning necessary.  What a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not worth the price without corrections and expansion

*2012-07-09, version 1.0.5*

Probably worth more than 1 star but needs some work at this price.  As others have said the sorting portion is flawed.  The app gives you a 'Great Job' whether you sort big to small or small to big. Also, appears to only have two different sorts, dogs or numbers.  For $1.99 I expect more.  The pattern portion is a bit flawed also. I'm sorry but Shovel-Bucket-Bucket-Shovel-Bucket isn't a pattern.  My first impression of the app is that it tries to have something for too large of an age range of children. Those who don't know their numbers and those who are ready for beginning math. I think it would be better off focusing on one or the other. Save your $2 until this app is improved and expanded.

### 1/5 — Not Impressed!

*2011-10-12, version 1.0.5*

Dreadful. Short, repetitive and totally lacking in creativity. As a teacher and parent of children in the target age group, I suggest parents skip this one. I am very disappointed as I expected more from this developer.

### 2/5 — "Fun," but not the best

*2013-10-21, version 2.0.1*

This app may look entertaining and fun for young children, but those are its only true function.  Looking at this app from an educational standpoint, it falls a little short.  Adding an assessment section in which a parent or teacher can view their child's current standings and progress would be extremely helpful.  Upon start-up, the app also needs instructions.  Even as a teacher, I was very confused on how to start the app and how to play some activities.  The menu icons (the kites) are also confusing and a bit misleading.  I also wish the app had more controls than just "Level 1, 2, 3."   The app contains good concepts to be worked on, but they need to be touched upon in a better way.

### 3/5 — Small to Large doesn't work

*2011-12-18, version 1.0.5*

The game asks kids to arrange items from small to large, but gives a "thumbs up" even if they arrange them large to small. Somewhat confusing. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Good, but doesn't really test the user

*2011-07-02, version 1.0.3*

My 4 yr old uses this app and likes it. However, I don't believe she's really challenged. Unless I sit with her, I don't believe she is using any level of deductive reasoning or math skills. It looks like she's just going though the motions. With other apps, I can see she's being challenges to think. Other apps don't give up the answer as easily. Some elements of this app are fine, but your child will master them quickly (i.e., ordering the dogs lowest to highest or the mice on the balance). Other apps teach addition better than the ducks on the slide.

### 3/5 — Not working at all!

*2011-04-26, version 1.0.2*

Please fix the problem. After the newest upgrade, the app is not working at all.

### 5/5 — My childhood is ok

*2025-05-23, version 2.2.2*

My childhood is saved and he is ok!

### 5/5 — Awesome app for my 2 year old daughter

*2024-08-19, version 2.2.2*

This app helps my daughter learn numbers and basic addition and counting and pattern skills she loves it and blue bear is so cute and she really likes that she can press the kite and choose the activity and tyre is no ads and it is free

### 5/5 — This app is gonna be fun

*2023-09-17, version 2.2.2*

I really think this app is gonna be great

### 5/5 — The Very Best Of All

*2021-10-13, version 2.2.2*

I was 3 and I started preschool and I learned my math.

### 5/5 — I Love this app

*2019-03-22, version 2.1*

It’s a great app for kids who like math

### 5/5 — Awesome value for 2.5 yr old!

*2017-03-09, version 2.1*

This is the first digital game my 2.5 year-old daughter played and she enjoyed it for almost two hours after we played it together for 30 minutes. There's a lot of learning fun for a free game and it does a good job introducing early math concepts along with color identification. There are different areas of math concepts and different difficulty levels so if your child is proficient in one area but needs practice in another, the difficulty level can be adjusted for each concept area. Awesome and educational app! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Good pre-K/K intro

*2013-09-05, version 1.1.2*

This app is great for 3&4 year olds to be introduced to and practice foundational math skills. I've found that it's best for the parent to work with the child while using this app to help explain new concepts and to support their learning. In doing so, the child won't simply select every answer till they get the correct one; they'll learn to think through the options before making a choice.

### 5/5 — I love it!!

*2013-04-21, version 1.1.2*

Park Math is great!  You should really get it!!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-10-22, version 1.1*

This is a great app. My 5 yr old loves to play it and is learning her basic math skills; I digit addition & subtraction, grouping, counting & more. I love duck duck moose apps.

### 5/5 — Excellent Program

*2012-10-10, version 1.1*

Our 4 year old grandson loves this program and is truly learning from it. Five Stars!
