Number Garden makes every girl a MathGirl. But watch out, parents! Youll be sneaking in game time too.

TheiPhoneMom says, “I want my girls to think of themselves as MathGirls. . .I’m thrilled to have an app on my iPhone that allows (my girls) to practice and build on their skills and confidence.”
A fun game designed for girls + an engaging right-brain approach to numbers + cute, fresh graphics = Math Success
“… see the concepts of addition and multiplication take root. . . the I cant do math attitude transforms into an I can as confidence blooms in young learners.”
