Latest reviews of Motion Math: Zoom app for iPhone and iPad
Preview does not mean free program! You get a small sample then it costs $5 to buy the full program.
This is a great App! Kids are learning number lines in school and it gives them practice. They love expanding and shrinking the number line. Worth purchasing.
This is a lite version. This is not advertised until after you pay for it and open the app. The full version is double the price.
This app is deceptive. My kid got to play 1 level after we bought it for $2.99 and then it wouldnt let us do anymore levels and it was making us pay another $2.99 for the rest of the levels. Do not buy!
This app is a very innovative way to teach number sense to kids! My nephew was really engaged and having a lot of fun playing it! I liked that he got it all on his own, I didnt have to explain it to him.
