nonna is a calm math game for young children, where every number is a cat. Combine cats to make the target and clear your pile before the board fills. The free game is all of addition, from bonds to 5 up to 100: dots, ten-frames and numerals, a way to add by passing numbers from one cat to another, and a garden where every cat your child adopts comes to live. Five more worlds, each with its own way of playing: - Multiplication World: drag out a rectangle of cats and watch 3 × 4 become 12. - Subtraction World: sweep cats away and see what is left. - Division World: deal the cats out fairly until none are left. - Fractions World: cut a cushion into equal pieces and find that two quarters make a half. - Geometry World: stretch a band from peg to peg and name the shape it makes, from Kindergarten to Grade 5. Every world gives one free round. All Worlds opens them all: $4.99 a month after a free first week. It renews monthly until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. One subscription covers your whole family (Family Sharing). Bought a world before? It stays yours, and every world is open to you with no subscription. - No ads, no accounts, no tracking; nothing leaves the device - Nothing to read before playing: a hand shows how, then lets go - Colouring pages where the colour you choose is the answer to the sum - A grown-ups area behind a parental gate, with sound, a round timer, the geometry grade and the store Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://clearvistaai.github.io/nonna-support/privacy-policy.html
