Counting and Addition! Math educational games for kids in Preschool and Kindergarten by Tribal Nova is an education based app for preschoolers that helps to get them ready for what's to come at school.

Why not use your iPad as an educational tool for the kids? They’ll be entertained so much they won’t even realize they’re actually busy learning about math. The app is designed for kids ages three to six years of age and teaches them all about counting and addition.

The free version teaches kids to count and add all the way to six. This is done with bowling pins and playing with Minus and Poko. If you unlock the full version the kids will be able to add up to 15 by using blocks and other objects.

Not only does the app focus on counting and addition but it also teaches kids number recognition, an introduction to the symbols used in math, and one-to-one correspondence.

The app also features self-adjusting levels of difficulty. There are 27 medals and rewards to win, stats that show the child's standing compared to those of the same age, and the app was designed by child development and educational experts.

What really struck me in this app was the fabulous bright colors and fun characters that are used. Right away it draws kids in, eluding a fun and light atmosphere. There is a lot of focus on fun so that kids want to use the app and thereby learn.
