There are 5 games in the app:

Number Match Monsters: kids are asked to count the number of monsters, then choose the correct corresponding number in different formats, such as number of dots and numerals. As kids progress along the game level, some addition problems will be added and they are asked to write out their answer in stead of choose one among multiple choices.

Spotlight on Subitizing: train kids the ability to quickly determine quantity without counting. This is important for developing formal arithmetic.

Number Memory Mansion: Kids count the number of monsters entering and leaving the house. It is to train child’s ability on counting on, counting back, and skip counting. It is also great for building working memories.
