The Idea
Counting, quantity, comparison, and patterns are all critical elements for success in math, all the way up to Calculus and beyond! I created this app to focus on these concepts rather than the numbers themselves.
Too often I have seen students in middle and high school struggle to grasp these concepts because they did not learn or understand them at a foundational level. This app is intended to help build those skills early on, so that learners will continue to build upon them throughout their education.
