Numberblocks & Friends Stories

Ouch, how can numbers be played like this? Enter the wonderful world of Numberblocks!

To be honest, the first time I opened this thing called "Numberblocks & Friends Stories", I almost thought I had opened an animation-it turned out to be an app to learn to count! Don't underestimate it. It was created by Pinkfong and the others. It is a little baby who specializes in coaxing children to fall in love with mathematics. How to love? It is to turn each number into a small character with a nose and eyes, coupled with various short stories, so that when children listen to the story, they can unknowingly memorize all the additions and subtractions, and the rules of numbers in their minds. It feels like watching an animated cartoon or playing a game, which is very addictive.

What are the highlights of this app? Let me talk to you

First of all, those little characters are really cute! Each number has its own character and shape. For example,"1" is a small stick, and "2" is round, which makes children happy when they see it. In the story-for example, building a bridge, numbers have to cooperate, and the result implies the concept of "adding up." It's much better than saying "3+2=5" all day long, right? There are also interactive Mini games on the function, dragging, dragging, and poking. It is a complete sequel to the animated movie. The most important thing is to have a progress bar! It is clear at a glance what the child has learned and where he has played, and parents also have an idea. Suitable for children from kindergarten to lower primary school. It is safe and friendly. When I watched him play, my eyes lit up, and my heart was so beautiful!

Does digital have a small theater? Yes, there is mathematical magic hidden in the story

Imagine walking into a colorful world, with every number alive and kicking, and with its own story. It's as simple as that, abstract number symbols become little guys with joys and sorrows. When my child saw the "5" jumping out, he actually shouted,"It's so cute!" Then follow it and see how it works with other numbers to solve the problem. This is not to force knowledge, but to make children take the initiative to explore! When parents see this spontaneous curiosity, they are more happy than any award certificate.

Mathematics is hidden in stories, learning is hidden in games

Don't think you're just listening to stories-children can still get started! For example, if you want to cross a river in a story, there are not enough numbers, so you have to drag "2" and "3" to make "5". This design that integrates mathematics into the plot is much better than those separate "choose the right answer" games. The child uses his knowledge points while playing, and the difficulty can be slowly adjusted, from simple counting to challenging addition and subtraction, step by step. I observed that the child lost track of time, but later he could actually say "3 and 3 add up to 6". Who would understand this kind of surprise!

Interactive experience? It's as natural as flipping through a storybook

The interface is almost modeled after a children's picture book. With big buttons, bright colors, and a small hand swiping the page, there is almost no learning cost. The transition animation is smooth and will not get stuck and make children anxious. It's the kind-you throw him in front of the pad and he will operate it himself, without you teaching him over and over again. This is too important to exercise children's autonomy. Compared with other math apps, the most amazing thing is its storytelling: many apps just fill in the blanks and choose numbers, but here it is a complete little adventure. A child wants to read it again after reading it again, which is similar to reading his favorite picture book repeatedly. And because characters have emotions, children will establish emotional connections with them. Do you think you can forget this math?

Summary in one sentence: This app deserves to be on your digital bookshelf

Really recommend it to all parents and teachers who want their children to learn mathematics happily. Especially suitable for the kind of little guy who can't sit still but loves to listen to stories. But don't just rely on it, it will work better with actual building blocks and counting fruits. In short, as a companion tool, it is charming and smart enough to allow children to plant the seeds of mathematics in laughter. I myself feel that if I had such a thing when I was a child, I wouldn't have scored so much in my math exam!
