The Learning Difference
"In this app, we don’t just assess children’s knowledge of shapes. When the child traces a shape, we tell them an important attribute about the shape so that they are introduced to the shape and its name, but they also learn about a distinguishing feature of the shape. They then apply their knowledge when they place the shapes on the puppet. This way, they learn about the shape and then have an opportunity to apply their shape knowledge in the next task." --Pam G., Learning Expert
