Kid Klok – a popular clock, turned into an app.
Posted on July 30, 2010 | 1 CommentSo, I hadn’t heard of the Kid Klok before, but it seems to have a decent following. And it seems like it could help out with learning how to tell time, given the dual format of the arms/numbers. The creator is a cognitive psychologist who […] -
Jungle coins – app to learn U.S. coin values and practice coin math
Posted on July 26, 2010 | 4 CommentsSal had an early interest in money, playing his virtual hamburger or pizza stand. It has been a game with surprising staying power that we now play with a fake coin set. I still wanted to find something that reinforced the mappings of the coins […] -

PathPix -app that reinforces number sense, more fun then connect the dots
Posted on July 11, 2010 | 1 CommentSal enjoyed this little app right off the bat. It’s a delightful twist on connect the dots – where instead, you need to connect 2 identically colored numbers, but make sure you have the same number of squares covered as those 2 numbers. The first […] -
Teach Me Kindergarten – Great app for early reading, spelling, and math
Posted on July 7, 2010 | 1 CommentThis one is a popular one with a lot of our friends and I can see why. I only recently downloaded and tried this app but wish I had introduced Sal to it earlier when he was starting to read. It has a bit of […] -
Math Bingo – flashcard app disguised as fun
Posted on June 23, 2010 | 1 CommentAh Math Bingo, high ranking app for Sal and one of the top paid apps in the Education section. What makes this one popular? Those silly-grinned Bingo Bugs are addictive to collect. It’s a simple concept – get 5 in a row – a la […] -
KidCalc – multiple math activities app
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsI’m going to break Thumper’s advice about “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”. This one, quite frankly, disappointed me. As one of the top Education apps – I thought this would be a stellar math app. This app has a […]
