Review Highlights:
I love that the game is a balance of tactile and screen-based learning, to help the children retain the information learned. It's a quick and easy set up, less than 7 minutes, no cords or Bluetooth connections are needed. High-quality game pieces and gamepad are included.
Plugo Count is a fun way to work on math problem-solving skills. The problems are woven into a story that unfolds before their eyes in the disguise of an interactive game.
The story-based approach really engaged my niece, whom is not a big fan of math. The combination of digital and physical "play" also helped her make sense of the concepts.
I like that Plugo works on Android and Apple operating systems.
I tested the product with preschoolers and kindergarteners in my classroom and this product is best for kindergarten aged children and older (6-11). I appreciated that the difficulty level could be adjusted in the app. It's a versatile learning platform for a wide range of ages and abilities.
