MY THOUGHTS:

My first thoughts on this game was “Wow this only cost $2.99?”  I cannot beleive how much is jam packed in this app.  My 3 year old loves it!  It has numbers in all different games, which is what he is learning now.  One app counts, one he has to pick the biggest number (this one is tough for him since he is only 3), one he has to add or subtract train cars (it is not easy to play though), one he has to connect the dots (easy to figure out) and finally he has to figure out which has more or less of an object.  Granted this is a little above my 3 year old’s head right now, but he is defintiely picking it up and learning!  THe graphics are awesome and bright, which definitely helps since kids like snazzy pictures.

Number Sense really does offer a lot and every time I look at what Aidan is doing, it is something different in the game.  I am sure he will master it and get bored eventually, but I do think he is at the perfect age for it and it is going to help him with math.  His favorite game in Number Sense is the Toot-Toot Train and he loves playing around with the train cars.  I also can’t believe how many trophies he has already, maybe I have a future math genius!  Overall, I would definitely recommend Number Sense for any child either pre-math or during, as all the games are fun and with five games in this app, it makes it worth the few dollars!
