Motion Math	Maths	Motion Math is an instructional app designed to be accessed via a mobile device, although can also be accessed via a desktop computer. The Motion Math model includes hundreds of levels of mathematics content, aimed at children aged approximately 4–11 and covering general arithmetic concepts aligned to the school curriculum, such as fractions, addition and subtraction, and percentages. Pupils can access the app via their own or school device, log‐in and work through the games and activities at their own pace. Motion Math uses the “tilt” facility on mobile devices so that children physically manipulate the device to engage with activities, for example directing a falling star to the right place. The game facilitates formative assessment, through tracking performance, providing direct feedback to the child, supplying hints and tips if answers are incorrect, and increasing difficulty when answers are correct. Students can work at their own pace through the activities, and teachers receive feedback on pupil usage and performance. A class password is needed to log in.
