Intro to Math by Montessorium was developed by Montessori teachers and parents. The app is beautifully designed and I love it’s look. I’m not familiar with the Montessori methods but I was able to get the hang of most of the activities. Reading the app’s description in iTunes will help familiarize you with the basics. The Intro to Math activities move from basic to more advanced concepts. Your child will begin by arranging simple rods from longest to shortest. Next they’ll work with rods that have numbers on them. They’ll then have the opportunity to practice writing numbers and match those numbers to number rods. The final activity works with number sequences and odd/even numbers.
I quite enjoyed the look of this app, the design is terrific. The sound effects are soothing and there’s no loud and annoying music. For those of us who aren’t familiar with Montessori methods and teachings it would be nice to have instructions within the app. Intro to Math is a bit on the expensive side but it appears to do an excellent job of putting Montessori on the iPhone.
Intro to Math is a universal app that will work on all your devices. I tested it out on my iPhone.

It is great to have some Montessori on iPhone. I downloaded it as soon as they released the app. Now they also have the letters.
But I hesitate as my children don’t really have a lot of fun on it so they don’t stay quite long and skip to other games.
Do you know other Montessori Apps on iphone ?

Elisa – I haven’t tried any of the other Montessori apps but I saw this one in iTunes and it looked promising – Montessori Crosswords

Elisa, I’m a great Montessori fan and I’ve purchased Tam & Tao in Numberland which is Montessori-based and really fun, my kids play with it all the time (when I allow them to have the iPad which is a whole other issue!). It’s a bit expensive but it includes a French version as well so I guess it’s worth it

Dear all ! I have tested both, and I must say that I was really impressed by the quality of “Tam & Tao in Numberland”, the designs are wonderfull, there are plenty of animations, different games for each number.
This is really a cute app that I recommend! Thank you Natacha for advising me, from me and my kids !!
