Math Bingo Games - A Racing Game for Kids by Tap To Learn

TapToLearn Software

Why we picked this?

During each race your child is presented with a series of math problems and they have to choose whether or not the answer is correct to move their car forward. The more accurate they are, the more stars they will earn. The stars can be used to unlock new tracks to go racing across. The game includes 40 math levels, three difficulty levels, custom avatars, and an additional math bingo game.

If your child needs to work on their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, have them play Math Bingo Games. It’s challenging and yet rewarding.

The math games are all based on accuracy and speed, which can be a bit daunting for young learners.

Why we picked this?

InTune was designed to do one thing and do it well. The app presents a pair of pitches. Your child must decide if the second pitch is higher or lower than the first. They must continue on until three questions have been answered incorrectly, after which they will be presented with their final score. Research has shown that the more someone uses InTune, the better their ear will be, so keep practicing! InTune also includes four modes, and leaderboards in order to add a layer of competition.

If your child or student is interested in music, develop their abilities with InTune. It’s both fun and educational.

The app is all about discerning pitches. You won’t find any music theory or similar educational elements here.

Why we picked this?

What’s better than a bunch of regular monsters? Cute mini ones, of course! Your child is presented with more than 30 beautifully illustrated pages, each featuring an interactive monster that will assist them with recognizing and learning a specific number. They can flip through the pages on their own, or they can listen to the narrator sound out words for them. They’re also able to put together a collection of jigsaw puzzles.

If your child needs a little help learning how to count, Cutie Mini Monsters is perfect for them. It’s loaded with colorful activities that will keep them engaged.

If your child is six-years-old or older, Cutie Mini Monsters isn’t for them. It simply won’t be challenging enough to keep them coming back for more.
