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.

What’s It About?
By solving single-digit addition problems, kids rebuild a city with help from the jungle addimals. Depending on the strategy they use, kids can earn gold or green blocks. If kids get the answer wrong, they get a red block. After solving seven problems, kids race against the clock to solve 10 more problems. Kids get two chances, with hints if needed. For each correct answer on the first try, kids earn a gold block. They earn green blocks for second-try answers and red blocks for incorrect answers. The gold blocks help rebuild the city and are saved on individual accounts so parents can keep track of which addition facts kids have memorized.
Is It Any Good?
TEACHLEY: ADDIMAL ADVENTURE is a fun way for kids to practice addition. The jungle characters are cute, and kids will enjoy the clever story line. Giving kids different strategies to use is an excellent way to build comprehension, and the speed round encourages kids to develop strong fluency in single-digit addition. Adding more variety in the tools-round activities could make this fantastic app even better.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about ways that addition is important in everyday life. Ask kids to solve real-world problems throughout the day.
Have kids draw pictures to model some of the math problems. For example, kids can draw three apples and four apples equaling seven apples to model 3 + 4 = 7.
