Everyday Mathematics® Tric-Trac™

I think that this is a worthwhile app to be used in the classroom. It is a fun way for students to practice their addition facts as well as finding numbers that will create sums. The aspect of the game is a little confusing at first, but once students get the hang of it I think they will think it’s really enjoyable because it is a different way to work on the concept of addition rather than just using flashcards or manipulatives. This app also gives great instructions on how to play and I like that there is a choice of using “Guided Play” with the man talking or not because this could really help some students who need it and some students won’t need the help of it. The only critique I have is that I think there should be an option to play a one-player game against the computer so that the app can be used individually during silent work time in the classroom.

An educational game should not depend on luck. This game can easily get into an unwinnable state.

This is a great game for students who are already fairly good at addition. The description says "basic addition facts from 0-6," but that is not accurate. 0-12 is more accurate. Plus, players have to come up with various ways to make a sum, not simply add two numbers together. Some strategy is also involved.

really boring. this app could not sustain the attention of my child at all :(

A decent game, but it forces you to select an incorrect response in order to pass your turn to the other player. Simply adding a "skip turn" button would fix this. As it stands now, it makes you answer the sum incorrectly and creates a negative impression of the game. My daughter likes it, but she also thinks it needs a skip button. My son quickly lost interest due to the fact that he had to keep entering wrong responses just to skip to the other player.

We love this game. The dice have a realistic feel and the game is great for math fluency! Lots if fun so the kids don't even realize they are building their math skills! As an adult I enjoy it too! Very surprised by the lower ratings. We think it's great.

It feels a little like something you could buy in Toy R Us, but the concepts and research behind it are of course very good. I just wish they did something a little more exciting with the interface.

For anyone need to brush up on their number facts with numbers up to 10. This game is perfect for parent-child or chid-child pairs, as there are plenty of spoken supports to explain the game as you go, My 7 year old has been playing this for almost a year now, and it is always high on her list of things to do on the iPad with me. I think it would be great for home and school.
