We develop apps that focus on the key concepts that need to be fully understood to progress and succeed in mathematics. Our apps range from learning to count up to understanding and using fractions and decimals, with each app focusing on one key concept. We believe: • Everyone can learn mathematics • Playing educationally rich games and apps improves understanding • Learning math should be fun and exciting, a rewarding adventure Our growing variety of apps is research based and classroom tested to make sure they help children learn. Space Numbers is part of our ‘play and learn’ series, which are games high in educational value where children learn as they play. We are also currently developing ‘learning’ apps which use the power of the iPad to help children understand and learn key math concepts and to unravel misunderstandings.
