Welcome to iCount iT 2 - the most comprehensive app on the market for learning and practising adding and subtracting operations in the number area 0 - 10. It contains over 3000 exercises divided into 23 different categories. The concept of iCount iT 2 is based on current research in learning and pedagogy and allows the child to practice colors, shapes, left and right in order to develop the spatial skills, and adding and subtracting with numbers, fingers and objects to develop the mathematical and logical skills. The earlier a child is subjected to a good pedagogical method for developing these skills the better it is prepared for learning and developing more advanced skills in mathematics and logical thinking.
Most exercises are read out by a native speaker to help the children with understanding what is expected. For each correct answer there is an applause. For incorrect answer there is a small sound and the correct answer flashes to make the child aware and help imprinting the correct solution for next time.
iCount iT 2 has an ”easy to use” concept where several User profiles can be stored. A new User selects a picture from the Library or takes a new photo for using. Then the child writes his/her name - or with the help of a parent/teacher - in the box. Then it is possible to proceed to the exercises. The next time the child wants to practice he/she selects the correct picture and the Name appears automatically. A teacher can access the result database by clicking the three columns in the left hand corner then selecting Admin and typing ”admin” as password. Here you´ll see a list of the results and time spent exercising for each User. This way it is easy to keep track of the development of the children. When the amount of correct answers increase but the incorrect answers remain on a constant level there is a development. When a User has completed an exercise without making any mistakes he/she will get a medal. The first medal is Bronze and after 10 medals Silver and finally after 10 more, Gold. The amount of medals each User has also appears in the Admin tool.
Please check out our other learning tools: In our concept Edu-Memory you´ll find Time (Tid) where you can practice analogue and digital time by paring them or by playing a memory game. In Edu-Memory Divide/Multiply (Dividera/Multiplicera) you´ll practice multiplication and division tables from 2-10 but up to 20 ( i.e. 7*18 = 126). Edu-Memory Geography (Geografi) practices flags, countries, capitals and landmarks of the world.
Edu-Memory Pair Numbers and figures (Par Siffror och figurer) practices matching numbers, figures and colors in the number area 1-10 making it suitable for children age 3-6 or children with special needs. Edu-Memory Animals is a free app without the pairing option - here you can enjoy just the memory game together with you child!
