Zap Zap Kindergarten Math is a gamified approach for learning foundational math skills. After registering with the app, users will be launched in a spaceship that they can navigate by holding their finger to the screen and dragging it in the direction they wish the spaceship to move. Users need to navigate their spaceship to a planet using the map on the bottom right of the screen, and they will need to release their finger when their spaceship is on the planet and then tap the “Enter” button to land on it. At this point, multiple levels will load that users are to complete in order, and each level teaches a foundational math skill. Each level begins with directions for completing tasks before presenting them with the tasks. If users complete the task correctly, verbal praise is awarded. If they are incorrect, they are offered another opportunity. After completing a level, users earn a puzzle piece and a score, and they can then advance levels. If users wish to exit a level before it is completed, they can tap the “Pause” button on the top right of the screen and tap the “Back to Planet” option.
