Basic Logic

1. This App is for Kinesthetic learners (who can’t acquire basic math-language skills; age no bar) as well as pre-primary students. 2. Please note that those seemingly simple questions are a challenge for slow learners. 3. Intuitive: Wherever possible we have designed it in such fashion that the child would be able to start “playing” with it without much guidance. 4. This tool is not limited only for the kinesthetic learners. It can also be used for the pre-primary students. Since children up to the age of 6 yr. are keen on learning through all the senses-touch being one of the “learning tools”; this same app can also be used for otherwise audio-visual learners.
