Detailed App Info:
Application Description
**** Engaging Game Features:
** Multiple games involving trains, a restaurant, a theater, and even a boot shop.
** Features fun animal characters (critters).
** Children play helpful roles for the town’s characters.

** Narrative doesn’t rely on reading and includes presents, food, and cheers.
**** Critical Number Concepts for Entering School:
** Linking number words with number symbols with magnitudes.
** Systematic counting.
** Size and number comparison.
** Estimation.
** 1-to-1 correspondence.
** More and less.
** Number and arithmetic symbols.
**** Research-Based Techniques for Early Mathematics Learning:
** Activities integrate multiple number concepts and representations.
** Numerical tasks are integral to the story and help critters achieve meaningful goals, such as helping a chef cook the right amount of food for the customers.
** Uses an approach to feedback designed to help children develop a sense of relative magnitude. Children see that they chose too much, too little, or just right. Many games only indicate “right” or “wrong” but do not show why or by how much.
** Children have the opportunity to learn by fixing their own mistakes.
** Critter Corral has been developed as part of an ongoing Stanford University research project. We are always looking to improve Critter Corral as we understand more about children’s learning in the game. Please contact us at info@critter-corral.com if you have any suggestions for us.
