About this app
Pet Shop Math is a calm counting, addition and subtraction game where students care for a dog, cat or rabbit by moving counters to solve number tasks within 0 to 20.
Who is Pet Shop Math for?
Suits K-2 students first learning counting, addition and subtraction, and older students who need extra practice with number facts within 20 in a slower, pressure-free setting.
What does Pet Shop Math teach, and how?
Students pick a pet and complete short tasks like giving it a certain number of treats or taking some away, using drag-and-drop or tap-to-select counters, ten frames and an optional number line, with Show me, Help me or Let me try support levels and spoken instructions.
How is success measured in Pet Shop Math?
Each completed task counts whether or not help was used, and the end-of-session summary shows tasks completed, first-try independent answers versus supported ones, with a note that this is a snapshot of practice, not a mastery score.
How long does Pet Shop Math take, and what does it need?
A session runs 3, 5 or 10 short tasks with no timer; it works by mouse, touch or keyboard, and settings let a teacher adjust range, support level, sound, motion and spoken instructions, with progress saved on the device.
