San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 07, 2012
Motion Math, the pioneer of fun, interactive mobile math games, is announcing the availability of Pro versions of its award-winning learning games for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch – Motion Math: Hungry Fish Pro, Motion Math: Zoom Pro, and Motion Math: Wings Pro. The Pro versions (available at http://itunes.com/motionmath) will enable teachers, technology directors and other educators to more easily purchase Motion Math’s games.
“Teachers are some of our best customers because they see how our games grow conceptual understanding,” said Jacob Klein, Motion Math co-founder. “Now they can get all our products through Apple’s Volume Purchase Program and help their students build a stronger number sense.”
Motion Math’s games leverage the intuitive touchscreen and accelerometer of iDevices for direct interactions with abstract mathematical concepts, enabling learners to play with numbers. Motion Math HD, the company’s fractions game, was the first iPad game to show a demonstrated learning gain in a controlled study. Players improved in fractions test scores by 15% and in attitudes towards fractions by 10%.
Motion Math has won praise from educators and numerous awards, including a Serious Play Gold Medal. Margery Mayer, the President of Scholastic Education, has called Motion Math “the gold standard for mobile learning games” and Joan Young, a 4th grade teacher at Trinity School in Menlo Park, CA, said that, “Kids request Motion Math's apps more than any other math apps - they really love the interactive playful experiences.”
Motion Math’s Pro Suite features:
Motion Math: Hungry Fish Pro, Motion Math Zoom Pro, and Motion Math: Wings Pro, and Motion Math HD are now available as paid apps from the App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch or at http://itunes.com/motionmath.
