A fun app that allows students to think about numbers

I like that the skill levels can be adjusted to one of 3 different options for each of the 4 operations. The operations can also be selected. This provides a lot of differentiation for both low and advanced math students. The app is also unique in that it provides students the answer to an equation and they have to create the problem. Many times there's more than one correct equation that can be created, prompting the understanding of equivalency. The graphics and story line (finding dragonflies) are engaging, but don't get in the way of the math, which remains the focus. Unfortunately there's no help for students who complete equations incorrectly. They are prompted to try different numbers, but there's no teaching or explanation involved. The app creates profiles for students so they can resume their own level when returning to the game.

A fun spin on learning and practicing math facts. Students are able to go in and create their own character. They can choose which operation they are going to practice so this is a great way for each individual student to practice at their own skill level. They are also rewarded with a painting at the end of their sessions.
