My Take

I install this on all of my devices that my kids work on. I find it highly motivational for any level of child. There are ability levels so the children don't get easily frustrated. It doesn't move too fast for them. The app keeps them occupied and learning their math facts. It is reasonably priced.

How I Use It

I used it with my students with special needs and now with my first grade students. It is highly motivating for K-5 kids. They love the bugs that show up when you tap the right button. There are additional games that you can play on this app and the related sight word bingo made by ABCya, that kids understand easily and quickly. The noises and music are annoying to the adult listening, but the kids like the upbeat tempo and seem to like it. You can choose to mute the music as well. You can set up each child to go at their own pace and show their percentage of correct answers. This way you can tell if they are playing correctly, trying their hardest, and understanding that level of math facts. There wasn't anything that I found that functioned poorly.
