Frequently Asked Questions

Not yet. A way for parents to monitor and evaluate their children’s increased maths knowledge is something that we are developing. We will let you know when this functionality is released. 

What makes game-embedded teaching apps like Count on me! different to traditional mathematics apps is that they incorporate learning moments into a game, rather than adding elements of gamification into education. Many popular mathematics apps lack scientifically-proven (and rigorously tested) results. This means that there is no evidence to show long-term, statistically significant improvement in maths knowledge after using these apps.

On the other hand, the science behind Count on me! has been proven through the most academically-rigorous review process, giving parents and teachers the confidence that time their children and students spend playing Count on me! is time well spent.

Thanks to Game-Embedded Teaching, you can comfortably let your child play Count on me! in the knowledge that they are learning and mastering important early maths skills while doing so.
