Todo Number Matrix is a delightful app containing 6 multi level games that help children to practice math skills such as categorization, number sense, addition, subtraction, multiplication and fractions. Whether you have a preschooler or 1st grader, Todo Number Matrix is sure to keep your child fully engaged with fun and challenging puzzles called matrices. In addition to honing math skills in a unique way, matrices are a wonderful medium for developing visual perception including both visual discrimination and spatial orientation, skills that are important not only in math but in all subjects.
What’s inside Todo Number Matrix?
Todo Number Matrix is inspired by a popular game found inside the Todo Math app. We expanded the game to include 63 matrices across 6 different categories so that children can stay engaged and learning for long play periods. Each category is uniquely designed to challenge children with a variety of puzzles.
* Numbers: Children will solve matrices using counting and number recognition skills. Puzzles in this category also mimic how a child recognizes numbers in the natural environment, using clocks, dice, and other common objects.
* Logic: The logic matrices rely on pictures and understanding relationships between objects. These puzzles are engaging and unique.
* Shapes: Explore shapes and categorize them by size, color, and number of sides. Children will also solve puzzles that include realizing relationships between shapes.
* Addition and Subtraction: This category offers practice ranging from early addition and subtraction skills all the way to advanced addition and subtraction. Visual representations of addition are available in the first levels.
* Multiplication: Practice multiplication facts in a fun and nontraditional way! The matrices in this category begin with visual representations and move to more advanced multiplication problems.
* Fractions: Explore early fractions with puzzles appropriate for students in preschool all the way up to second grade. Students will explore concepts of whole and half, as well as dividing shapes and objects into equal parts.
Busy Shapes helps children improve their ability to handle simple objects through a series of puzzles, in which they must change simple shapes and place them in proper holes. Along the way, the app responds to each child’s actions with positive guidance and motivation. Plus, the app’s digital exploratory playground regularly refreshes with different objects, which keeps children interested and engaged.
INSPIRED BY JEAN PIAGET
Busy Shapes is inspired by the pioneering works of famed Swiss scientist and intelligence expert Jean Piaget (1896-1980), who believed that “children are little scientists”, and that a child's thoughts are built through experiences that encourage him or her to engage in the reasoning process.
INNOVATIVE, SCALEABLE PLATFORM
Busy Shapes’ innovative scaleable platform for evolving experimentation lets children take advantage of the time they spend on touch screens -- so they aren’t just having fun, but learning every second of the way.
KID-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Busy Shapes features a special “kid-friendly” design that compensates for the fact that when young children hold an iPad or iPhone, they often have a finger touching the screen.
“PASSING” SWIPE CONTROL
Busy Shapes features “passing” swipe control that is essential for young children's quick hands (i.e. even if a child's finger reaches an object after he or she was already touching the screen, the object is still grasped as intended).
POWERFUL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Busy Shapes’ powerful AI supports each child’s unique learning journey. For example, the AI tracks the time it takes each child to complete a level, and increases or decreases difficulty accordingly.
GUIDED ACCESS
To prevent children from exiting the app by pressing the “home” button, Busy Shapes features a customizable Guided Access. This feature also disables selected parts of the screen for safety and protection.
REAL-TIME MONITORING
Parents can access real-time monitoring and get advice on how to guide their children. They can also track their child’s progress updates via Apple’s Game Center.
SEAMLESS INTERACTION
Busy Shapes’ seamless interactive game area never blocks or limits children, and lets them freely access shapes. The menu is also neatly hidden away.
AUTOMATIC MEMORY
Sometimes the best learning is a combination of cognitive exercise and physical play. Busy Shapes’ automatic memory saves a child’s place in any particular game, which makes the app an ideal complement to physical play and for shorter games.
