BugMath is a new app available at the app store to help teach your kids basic math skills that they may be having trouble with. The app was developed in Singapore, where their math curriculum has consistently ranked in the top three in the curricula worldwide. The app uses the same principles that are taught in the classrooms.
Yvong Foong is the CEO of Zixxe Pte. Ltd., which is the parent company of the brand that came up with this app, TotsMobile. She stated that, “BugMath approaches mathematics from different angles – particularly through a story that engages and the systematic practice of math skills through the ease of repetition. The goal is to boost kids’ confidence while having fun!”
The whole time kids are using the app, they will be playing as Ug-ug, a friendly alien that crash-landed on planet Aliennz, which is completely inhabited by bugs. Kids can help Ug-ug escape the bugs by playing the games and getting the questions right.
BugMath has 5 fun games your kids can play- Bug Attack, Counting Game, Big and Small, Plus and Minus Bugs, and Matching. The app is for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad and runs on iOS 4.1 or later. BugMath is $1.99 and is available in the app store under the Education section.
