Motion Math Blog

Here’s a fun video of a 7th grade class in Oklahoma competing in Motion Math – Thank you Candace Townsley for posting this video!

We’re excited to announce that Motion Math HD is now featured as a New and Noteworthy at the top of the App Store, and that our game has reached the Top 10 of the Education category.

Exciting news: today we’ve released Motion Math HD for iPad! In addition to stunning HD graphics, the award-winning fractions game now has new features like pause, number line announcements, enhanced star effects, and translations into six languages – Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. Get the game on the App Store at http://bit.ly/motionmathhd

On Wednesday February 9th we’ll release Motion Math HD for the iPad, which features new features, full iPad graphics, and versions in 7 languages. Thank you to our fans who suggested many of the new features we’ve added to the HD version.

We were very fortunate to recently participate in the Startl Mobile Design Boost, a four-day frenzy of design prototyping, user-testing, and business plan refinement at the SF TechShop.

Today the Wall Street Journal Tech Blog profiles Motion Math, delving into our design philosophy and future plans.

Daniel Donahoo (one of the core contributors to Wired.com’s GeekDad) blogs today surveying the landscape of children’s apps. He identifies development trends and a few standout educational apps.

Children’s Technology Review has awarded Motion Math the Editor’s Choice Award for Excellence in Design in their October 2010 issue, giving us 4.5 stars! Warren Buckleitner, CTR’s editor, writes, “[Motion Math's] ‘virtual manipulative’ technique can bridge the concrete and abstract…you move your way toward a better understanding of numerical relationships, one bounce at a time.”

You can now get all the way to level 24 (past Saturn) in Motion Math…that is, if you know your fractions!

Thanks to our customers that have told us about the bug that crashes the game after level 3. We’ve submitted a fix; look for an update in the coming days that’ll let you play all the way to level 24.
