There are two sections for practice in the app. Expedition is to going through a 30-step path with progressively more difficult math problems. Laboratory is a collection of 17 labs of math, each lab is for one type of math practice, like number line, telling time.

The 17 labs in the Laboratory sections are:
Counting: kids see pictures showing number of objects and choose the correct number corresponding to the picture. For bigger numbers kids will see objects grouped in ten’s.

Number Lines: kids fill in the missing number on the number line. It is a way to learn orders.

Hundred number chart: kids pick the right number for the missing spot on the hundred number chart.

Odd Even number: kids see number of objects and answer if it is an odd or even number.

Order: kids are given several number, and are asked to put them in order from the smallest to the biggest.

Skip counting using a number line: kids fill in the missing number on the number line. All neighboring numbers have a fix difference of more than 1, like 2, 5, or 10.

Name the number: kids are shown a numeric number and are asked to pick the right name of the number in English.

Addition: Kids are shown pictures of two types of objects, and are asked to add the number of each type together. They are all additions within 10.

Subtraction: different from Addition, kids will see pictures of objects with some being crossed out. Kids need find out how many left.

Addition with numbers: This is a more advanced addition. All problems are shown with actual numbers, not pictures. The problems are within 20.

Subtraction with numbers: subtraction problems with actual numbers within 20.

Reversed addition: kids are given the result number, and are asked to pick the equation that will lead to the answer. For example, for the number 10, they should choose 3+2.

Reversed subtraction: similar to Reversed Addition, but this is for subtraction.

Simple Algebra: kids won’t see x or y in the problems, but is to fill in the blank in an equation, like Blank+5=9, and kids need answer which number should go in the blank spot.

Mixed operation: kids will see two operations in one equation, and they are addition or subtraction. All numbers are within 10.

Time: kids are show a clock and are asked to choose the correct time shown on the picture.

Overall it is a good math practice math with very good coverage for those just started math. Depends on your child’s level, a child from preschool to first grade will find this app helpful. It is available on iPhone, iPod and iPad. It is $1.99.
