Focusing on conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization, learners explore addition, subtraction, & number sense through engaging play that builds math skills. Dexteria Dots – Preschool Math turns learning addition, subtraction, and number sense into an intuitive hands-on experience that builds mathematical confidence in children age 3-6. Through playful interaction, children explore fundamental math concepts as they tap, drag, and combine colorful dots. The game encourages planning and problem solving rather than random tapping, helping kids strengthen fine motor skills, visual tracking, precision, and number awareness. Along the way, they unlock fun “monster” rewards that keep the learning experience engaging and endlessly replayable. Praised for its simplicity and depth, Dexteria Dots has been described as having “fun game action that inspires learning through play” by iPhoneMom.com. Selected by Apple as a Best New App in Education and winner of the Children’s Technology Review Editor’s Choice Award, it supports Common Core math standards and is highly rated by teachers, parents, and occupational therapists. Occupational therapists appreciate how the game strengthens visual-motor coordination, improves fine-motor control and spatial reasoning, and reinforces visual memory and motor planning. Each dot in the game has four math-related attributes (number, pips, color, and size) and as players advance, visual cues are gradually reduced, encouraging deeper understanding and flexible thinking. From Beginner to Expert, the challenge adapts to each child’s pace, providing endless fun and skill development. We take your child’s privacy seriously. Dexteria Dots contains no ads, no data tracking, and no in-app purchases. It’s focused, developmentally sound play that children love and parents can trust.

Not worth the $3

This app presents good ways to learn the concepts of adding and subtracting and how they can be thought of as combining and separating. Unfortunately, at the harder levels, it just assesses the students on their ability to memorize rather than to know addition or subtraction. A student may also simply click a bunch of random numbers until they get the correct answer. I would want to use this for my child before they start learning addition and subtraction in written form, but there are other ways to promote these concepts than paying $3 for this app.

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. At the higher levels, the app challenges the learner to focus on concepts rather than overt visual indicators, thereby cementing knowledge acquisition.

Love the first 2 levels, but once it gets into solid colors, it's confusing. It goes from being a counting game to a memory game which isn't helpful for educators. It's a great start, but the advanced bits need to be revised.

My son, who has been struggling to learn fact families, likes this app. It is helping him to have better number sense. He is in 3rd grade, is very bright but also has a very slow cognitive processing speed. My daughter, who is 4.5, loves the app. It is sort of good for such a young child, but definitely can be a challenge. Hard for little hands to use more precise gestures that you need.

My boys go to this app every time I let them play my iPad. I like that it is so creative. My older boy (8) loves making bonus dots and my younger (5) likes making the different numbers in new ways. I like that they are learning Math concepts while having fun
