Team Umizoomi: Math Racer HD

What it is and what you do with it: a racing game with extra educational activities.

Create and customize your car and race it around a city track. Collect coins to buy extra parts and accessories for the car.

Educational activities (during obligatory race pit-stops) include: number identification, counting and enumeration, number comparisons, simple addition and subtraction, number sequencing.

What we liked: the concept. Variety of car customization options. Reward/motivation system with coins, extra parts and trophies. Narration and spoken instructions. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Original Team Umizoomi artwork. Multiple player accounts. Overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: the math activities are very basic and offer little variety. The 'driving experience' could be better (you just jump from lane to lane to steer the car). Only one track to race on.
