Shapes & Geometry Skill Build for Android
Crashes!
This is a fantastic app! It runs very smoothly and has engaging graphics for young learners. It touches on a whole gamut of geometry material for early elementary school learners. Two things would make this app better. The first is a simple fix. In the 3D section, levels 4 and 5, if I recall correctly, the questions sometimes ask for the corners/edges while the answers seek the reverse. In other words, the questions mistake corners for edges and edges for corners some of the time. For example, the question may ask for the number of edges on a cube (12) but the correct answer is for the number of corners (8). The second is while this app is fantastic for quizzing, it's not very strong for teaching. For example it asks the child to identify a tetrahedron, but it doesn't explain to the child what a tetrahedron is first. Or it asks for the number of vertices, without defining the word "vertices". Overall, I am very pleased with this app, but for the price I was hoping for it to teach the subject as well. :)
