Great app for beginning math preschool skills, but can't adapt it for each learner.

Community Review for Grandpa's Workshop
My Take
I gave this app a three because the students liked it, especially when they did well and got to give grandpa a high-five. However, some of the limitations with this app I felt were that you cannot plan out what students work on, it's pretty random what order the skills come in. Plus, it doesn't teach them anything explicitly, it's something that can only be used as a practice.
How I Use It
This app was used as a center activity during math groups. Since it covers basic fractions, puzzles, and counting it was used for some of our lower groups because most of the tasks were things they could accomplish independently.

Great for Advanced Thinkers
My overall opinion was it was a great $0.99 investment and I also found a sister application called Grandma's Garden. It was a wonderful tool to help them learn new ways to use math and also to appreciate the importance of math. My school age group enjoys the application because it make math more fun and they can appreciate the change in the way the material is presented to them. I like that it is fun and cheap. I also encouraged a lot of the parents to download it for use at home and they found that it was a great benefit for their students and they all liked the application for home use. It served my preschoolers and school age group in many different ways. For the preschoolers it offered an opportunity to learn new math concepts in a fun and interactive manner. They enjoyed the activities that were offered through the application. My school age students are in the grades between Kindergarten and second grade and they all told me verbally that they like this because it made math fun. They learned that they have to use math a lot in life and it is important to start loving it now!!!
