Math Joy vs Touch and Write

Math Joy turns first math into a game little kids want to play again. Count flowers in the savanna, pop bubbles on the reef, share cupcakes at the candy factory, blast off in space and run the market stall. Every level is a short, cheerful adventure with a friendly animal guide, so your child learns numbers without ever feeling like they're being tested. NO READING NEEDED Not reading yet? No problem. Every question is read aloud in a friendly voice, and a tap on the animal or the speech bubble says it again. It works in all languages the app supports. LEARNING THAT STICKS 60 levels grow with your child, from first counting to telling the time: - Counting to 5, 10 and 20, and by 2s, 5s and 10s - Tracing numbers with a finger - Adding and taking away, with pictures to count - Sharing fairly, halves and number bonds - Tens and ones, and the biggest number - Coins, shopping and exact change - Patterns, shapes, positions and measuring - Telling the time, on the hour and half past NO PRESSURE, JUST PROGRESS A wrong answer gets a gentle wobble and another go. There are no lives and no game over, so your child keeps trying and keeps smiling. Finish a level to earn up to 3 stars, and race the boss at the end of every world. COLLECT ALL 60 STICKERS Each level wins a sticker for the My Sticker Book. It's a little reward that makes children want to come back and fill every page.

Now for Queensland – practice Queensland Beginners Font with a Queensland accent! Teachers love "Touch and Write" because children delight in writing when they can use shaving cream, paint, and jello. Create your own, individualized word and name lists, or practice one of the many included word lists, such as high frequency words, and word families (-AT family, -AN family, and more.) Using the included word lists, children can listen to the SOUND of each letter as they write, or toggle to hear the NAME of each letter. Developed by classroom teachers – builds on best education practices! This is from a review of our Victorian "Australian Touch and Write" app: "Brilliant - fun way to learn Victorian cursive. I have been waiting for an app like this - a fun way teach Victorian Modern Cursive, an app my special needs son enjoys playing with and learns as he goes. He can even use a stylus to draw the letters and build the muscle memory in his hand, that can later be transferred to writing with a pencil or pen. All children will benefit from this app, presenting learning writing in an exciting format, great guides to help learn where to start and stop letters, and great celebration pages to keep them interested and rewarded. I like that you can use the word lists or make your own so then the app grows with the child into writing full words, not just letters. I think I will be trying it out with my son's spelling lists too and double benefit - writing and spelling. It is also great to be able to teach Aussie formats such as Victorian Modern Cursive.... Almost all the apps I have tried have been US based. Thanks FizzBrain!
