PARENTS APPRECIATE IT
“All I can say is, WOW!…Our 8-year-old said he “wished he could do this for math every day.” Our 10-year-old agreed.” - Ashley Allain, HyperHomeSchool

“My daughter played Motion Math totally absorbed for five minutes and then came back, very focused on moving faster through the game. The day before school started, I asked her what she wanted to learn and she said “Fractions! Because they are fun.” Thank you, Motion Math!” - Leigh Anne Gilbert

KIDS LOVE IT
“Dude, that’s a good game! There’s a lot of variety in the math...it’s so addicting.” - Kyle, 14

EXPERTS RESPECT IT
“Dynamic...you move your way toward a better understanding of numerical relationships, one bounce at a time. 4.5 stars.” - Warren Buckleitner, Children’s Technology Review

OVERVIEW
Loved by children as young as 7 and as old at 17 (and adults too!), Motion Math gives learners a physical experience of the number line and an intuitive feeling for fractions. Fractions are a notoriously difficult area and if a learner never gains a gut sense for them, it can impede progress in more advanced forms of math. The game is supported by academic research in embodied cognition and uses helpful hints to move all players towards mastery.
