Bugs and Numbers

What it is: a pack of 18 games and activities for strengthening early math skills.

What you do with it: 3 stages/levels:

Stage 1: number and shape identification, left/right, counting, painting by numbers, matching numbers and shapes.

Stage 2: counting up to 100, tracing number and shapes,sequencing,comparisons,sorting/counting/tallies/addition up to 10

Simple reward system: earn bugs for completing activities.

Stage 3: coins,time telling,patterns,fractions,measurements,addition and subtraction

What we liked: the concept, great graphics and animations, fun factor, easy navigation and operation, the number and quality of activities, sounds and sound backgrounds, overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: no spoken instructions (in our opinion the 'visual instructions' are not sufficient). Some activities may require some help or additional explanation from a parent. The scoring system is a bit too restrictive (the number of 'allowed' wrong answers could be increased).
