So I actually did spend some time to create IPad apps for my kids to help them learn math (Beginning Math and Times Table Helper -- for sale on the app store now :). Couple of things I don't like here: 1. First thing I see is time math quizzes. Timed math tests are flat out evil. I'm thinking of the 60 problems in 60 seconds variety I had as a 3rd graders (and failed). Don't do this to your kids. Let them go at their own pace. 2. That is a lot of distractions. If you have ever dealt with dyslexic kids (prone to mentally wander off -- and I am dyslexic as well), this is not helpful. Not all electronic learning software needs to be game oriented.
