Motion Math Zoom
Description
An animal adventure through the world of numbers!
Motion Math Zoom (for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch) features the most interactive number line of all time. The intuitive pinch gesture on iDevices allows kids to navigate among concrete objects (animals) that represent abstract numbers: from dinosaurs in the thousands to amoebas in the thousandths.
Motion Math Zoom is a fun, engaging way for elementary school children to master one of the foundational pillars of math: place value.

Much better motion Math tool. Not as dependent of the motion for the lessons as other Motion Math games.
Good pricing.
A great application that can be used on multiple platforms. Motion Math Zoom will engage students. It will make learning Math more enjoyable for your students. Motion Math Zoom uses neat pictures of animals in order to facilitate student learning of Math concepts. In addition, students' number sense will be improved with regular use of the software.

I love this app to help reinforce number sense confusion and estimation challenges.
