About the Measurement app: Punflay is back with another addition to our top-selling Mathomatix series. This time kindergarteners can get introduced to basic concepts of measurement such as weight, volume and length. As with the rest of the apps in the Mathomatix series. Set in an utterly cute learning environment, Mathomatix-
Measurement is sure to get your child’s attention with its bright and cheerful graphics and fun activities.
The app comes with five activities that each teach a measurement concept.
Crazy Clock: A friendly voice announces the time and all you do is to move the minute hand of a cute clock to set the correct time.
Scale Tale: This activity introduces kids to the concept of weight. An adorable one-eyed monster teaches kids this concept by holding two items and allowing them to guess which item is heavier or lighter. Is a pineapple heavier or lighter than a cup cake?
Fill Me Up: If you had to teach the concept of volume at home you are sure to have a mess all over the floor. Instead, Fill Me Up allows you to teach this concept through easy exercises such as filling pitchers with liquids or jars with cookies minus the mess.
Long and Short: Crayons, buses, park benches are all some of the familiar objects in a kid’s life. And these can be found in this activity as objects of comparison to learn the concept of length. This game presents two objects of different lengths. Simply tap on the one that is longer or shorter.
Action Months: This game introduces the basics of duration of time through a simple drag and drop activity to fill in the letters of the months.

Review: My son and I have really enjoyed these apps. I am not good at math so both of these come in handy when it gets down to teaching my son some of the techniques. The games are all very creative and are very vibrant and eye catching. Just tonight I was playing one of the
number sense games and my son saw me. He immediately wanted the iPod and was ready to take it up to bed half an hour early! I think he didn't want me to take it back, he wanted the game all to himself. These apps have been great at keeping my sons attention (and mine). I think as we continue to play them and I show him more and more how each of the games works he will learn more and more math skills that I might not otherwise have been able to teach him in an understanding fashion.
