I am a mom to several special needs children – of course their needs are varied but each struggles with math. Octoplus (by Zyrobotics) is a math adaptation of Turtle Invaders, a 2014 Gold Winner of the Mom’s Choice Award for Best in Family-Friendly Products. OctoPlus reinforces key math skills within an interactive gaming environment. OctoPlus places the child in an underwater water world where they have to battle turtles using their math addition skills to score points to be used in the OctoStore.
With both a drill and challenge mode, children’s math skills are improved based on their own individual learning ability. OctoPlus is also designed to enhance motor skills for young children and kids with motor or cognitive delays. With a phenomenal ability to set options, this app will keep kids motivated and engaged. The app is designed to improve visual attention, timing, coordination and control. Parents can also use this switch-accessible app to reinforce Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals.
I totally appreciate the ability to reinforce IEP goals at home!
Fully customizable settings can adjust math options based on the skill level of your child and there is a Parent Zone allowing parents and teachers to stay connected to the child’s progress. If your child has motor limitations it can be switch-accessible. It helps kids master common core math skills through the use of drills, practice, challenges and more in a fun and engaging way. The levels are designed to build confidence, improve hand eye coordination and fine motor skills with graphics and music that can be graded to sensory sensitive children.
Right now the Octoplus App is available on iTunes for $.99! iTunes Download Link

My nephew loves video games. I think any game that is educational would be beneficial. Thanks for the review!
This sounds like a worthwhile investment of money and time to help your children learn math at their own pace.
It makes math fun and in my opinion, that’s not easy! I like that it’s customizable too!
What a fun learning game! I could see lots of kids liking this.
This sounds like something my little guy would enjoy. Sounds like a great app for only 99 cents.
What a fun way to teach children. It would keep them entertained while they were learning.
This would be perfect for my nieces kids indeed. I love the learning games. Thanks for sharing.
