Montessori Geometry surprises with how much detailed math learning can be stuffed into such a fun package. There's everything from a fun find the shapes game embedded into the Geometry Cabinet that also takes kids around the world to famous places, to a 3D shapes feature that allows kids to look at shapes from all sides. In total, kids are introduced to six shape families with 23 shapes total in memorable, meaningful ways. The Note to Parents is also packed with helpful information for parents who want to know more about how effective, early-stages math learning happens. A brilliantly creative yet simple geometry app.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
