When we get a new game, it shows up on all three ipads. If it's not appropriate for one of them (too easy, too hard, etc..) , I manually delete it from his ipad screen. But it's always there in my itunes account if I want to add it again. What she said...we always know when someone buys a new app or gets a free one because we all get it. We are all under one iTunes account. Then like she said if we like it we keep it if not we delete it. ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B. Cleary

I finished it and see I will have to get the 12year old app also. My 13 year old currently taking algebra saw me playing and asked for a turn and his comments were priceless as he was doing it... Isn't that a clever way of teaching it? And ....huh they will think they are playing but getting the basic thinking. He was really making good observations and wants to do the whole thing and once he and his brother are done with this wants the 12 yo program too. Can anyone tell me about the 12 app? ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B. Cleary

Then hey move on and it's a lot more of the actual Algebra - also introducing new concepts as you go etc. It's quite a bit trickier. It's great!

DD7 didn't have any problem figuring out that the dragon was going to grow every few problems, though. But the 12+ one is definitely trickier, as it moves along. I like them both!
