What's It About?
Kids start by choosing a template from one of the following categories: basic, personal finance, personal, business, or education. A blank spreadsheet allows kids to essentially start from scratch, while the other templates give kids a starting point. For example, if kids choose the Probability Lab template in the education category, a data table, pie chart, and bar graph already are entered in the spreadsheet. Kids can use tools to edit the data and change the formatting. By touching and dragging, kids can reorder columns and rows and resize tables. Once the spreadsheets are finished, they can be saved and shared using iCloud, AirDrop, iMessage, email, or WebDAV.
Is It Any Good?
NUMBERS is an innovative tool that teaches kids how to organize and present data in a meaningful way. The numerous editing features can be a little overwhelming at first, but, once kids have some time to explore them, the touchscreen makes it easy to customize and edit spreadsheets. Understanding how to display data in an effective way is an important concept, especially for older kids. This app certainly gives kids an excellent opportunity to interactively explore data display while sharpening their technology skills as well.

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
