[prMac.com] Toronto (ON) Canada - Young children of all ages absolutely love playing on mobile phones and tablet devices like the iPad or iPhone. These devices have the potential to be core and essential learning tools in helping kids develop math and language skills, as well as keeping them entertained. Researchers from the University of Chicago have found that children who play puzzle games regularly will perform better in spatial intelligence tests than children who do not.
Psychologist Susan Levine and colleagues recently conducted a study that found 2-4 year-old children, who play with puzzles, have better spatial skills when assessed at 4 1/2 years of age. "The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes," said Levine, a leading expert on mathematics development in young children.". Spatial abilities are directly linked to math abilities.
One mobile developer, called "Fast Hatch Apps", believes their newest mobile app can help kids develop these spatial skills while having fun. The app is called "Car Puzzles for Kids", and features beautifully illustrated machines like cars, trucks, planes, cranes, and more. These vehicles are broken up into pieces, and it's up to the child to put them back together. It is fun and easy to play, and has an increasing difficulty with some puzzles starting at 4 pieces, and scaling up to a dozen pieces.
