NumBots vs Jarful

Addition & Subtraction. Solved. From the innovators who bring you Times Tables Rock Stars, comes a highly engaging platform for learning to add and subtract… NumBots! NumBots is all about every child achieving the “triple win” of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating. Suitable from Year 1 (UK) or Kindergarten (US) upwards. Younger players will be able to access the early stages from a mathematical point of view but will find it increasingly harder to reach the level of fluency required to make continued progress.

Jarful is a calm, friendly piggy-bank app that helps young children learn to handle realistic money by counting it, sorting it, and saving up for the things they care about. When a child receives money, they count it themselves with realistic coins and notes. They snap coins into place, combine them, and make change at the little exchange office. Then they divide their money across their own jars: one for a special goal, one just for saving.
