Counting Together! – Education Game Review
Counting Together! is a Education game from Barrett Productions, LLC, first launched in 16th December 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 9+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Counting Together! Stand Out
“The people in my neighborhood are all excited about this new mobile app to help children develop their Math Skills.” – BOB McGRATH, Chidren’s Educational Television
“Counting Together”, with its Dinosaur theme and jaw dropping 3-D graphics and audio, provides hours of fun to play alone or with up to 4 PLAYERS.
Not only is the famous TV personality, Bob McGrath, enthusiastic about “Counting Together”, so are schools, parents, educators, special needs experts, and most importantly, children.
“Counting Together” is a fun filled game that teaches children two basic math skills, ADDITION and SUBITIZING.
WHAT IS “SUBITIZING”?
It is the ability to recognize a certain number of objects without counting. For example, you may look at a table and instantly see 4 chairs surrounding the table. But a child may need to count the chairs using their fingers. “Counting Together” helps children develop this crucial skill so they too can look at the table and instantly see 4 chairs.
“Counting Together” fills the need for a fun method of reinforcement for today's tech-savvy school child. As the child plays the game, the app itself reinforces the correct answer both visually with a number and with sound effects.
• "Students coming into kindergarten should hold the skill of subitizing up to five objects.” – MICHELLE FLAMING, Elementary mathematics consultant for ESSDACK.
• "Subitizing is a fundamental skill in the development of students' understanding of numbers" – ARTHUR J. BAROODY, Professor of Curriculum & Instruction (early childhood and elementary mathematics education) at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign
• “Counting Together" is all business when it comes to teaching visual counting math skills, but the kids will never know it.” – BOB McGRATH, Chidren’s Educational Television

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We are a Pre K teacher and when we demo'd this app with our students they were hooked! 4 player capability, multi-levels, and graphics and sound that leave the kids pleading for more. We used it at dismissal time and parents were dully impressed. Children were literally begging to play at home. Simple enough to follow, children taught each other as new players entered the play. Already we see better number recognition and real subitizing beginning in our classroom. We immediately added the upgrade and recommended it to families in our preschool! Thanks, Barrett Productions, for another winning educational app that bring parents and children together! Update: our 4 yo kids love this game for number recognition, 1 to 1 correspondence, and the sound effects.
Now this is what we have been waiting on. Best 1.99 EVER spent. Students can play as a team or in completion and it is just like the concept of a SMART table! Love it.
Fun and effective for learning. Great interface, easy to use and engaging graphics. Immediately bought the plus version for more.
What a super fun interactive App! Love the graphics, colors and sound effects. What a innovative way to get kids to want to "Count Together".
This app is great.. Fun and educational. As a former teacher, we can really appreciate it. And as a new grandparent, we will be excited to introduce it to our grandson.
This is a fantastic app for learning. Our kids love it.
Great app. Very entertaining. After 2 uses we wanted to see what the Plus version was all about.
Love this! Graphics are fabulous. Great family fun. Great destressor as well.
We love playing this game with our 3- and 5-year-old boys. It's so great to see them learning to count and engaging with something so educational. This app has kept our boys busy for "countless" hours :-).
So glad there is an app like this to demonstrate that math is all around us and we can exercise our skills in a fun way! This is fun for all ages, has great graphics, LOVE the opening sequence, and there ain't nothing wrong with playing a little game with kids on an electronic device like this when you know it's fun and educational. Great.
Great way to work the brain, no matter what age. The graphics are first rate!! Counting Together makes learning fun,fun,fun.
This is a great app! It's important for kids to learn pattern recognition without always counting individual items – and this app does it. Lots of fun for kids and adults alike. We just downloaded it and we can't get it away from our kids! Excellent graphics and sound effects round out this fun and educational tool. Superb.
We played Counting Together with our little cousins and they couldn't get enough of it. They loved the colorful dinosaur and caveman graphics. They're pretty hyper, so it's hard to keep them entertained for more than a few minutes, but this did the trick. And it's educational, so all the better. We're afraid we won't get our iPad back over the holidays.
We are a huge fan of educational apps and rarely come across one that stands out, Counting Together not only stand out, it really shines. It has superb graphics, is entertaining and really is a great teaching tool – we played with our younger cousins last night and they ate it up!! :) Wanted to stay up late to keep playing! Highly recommend this app, we've enjoyed playing it.
Do yourself and your children a favor and just get this app! We have not seen any other Math app that allows multiple people play at the same time. We downloaded the app, watched the instructional video (tap the thumbs up icon) and within minutes was playing with our daughter. We quickly decided to upgrade for only 99 cents (unbelievable how cheap, but we think this is because it is new). Within minutes, we had 4 of us playing, laughing, and yelling at each other. And we could see how much this was helping our children. We expect this to be a BIG HIT for the holidays.
What's great about this app is that it to our kids it's more fun than educational–to us it's awesome to have them playing a game that will help them get ahead in school rather than learn how to shoot things. When was the last time you had to pry a learning tool away from your kids? They are crazy for this game.
