Created by Dr. C. Sue Phelps Ph.D., who has been helping in the development and education of children for over 45 years, Seeing Numbers is an application designed to help children understand the most fundamental concepts of mathematics.

Designed for ages three to seven, Seeing Numbers takes a unique approach to understanding the fundamental concepts of mathematics. The core of the Seeing Numbers approach makes use of patterns, colors, and shapes in order to establish a foundation for learning. This is to escape the traditional context of counting.

Seeing Numbers works by taking the child through 11 separate modules. The concept of numbers from 0 to 9, counting, addition and subtraction are taught, practiced and assessed. The modules are broken up into 3 sets which include a variety of interactive interfaces for children. The number of modules in a given set is between 3 and 4, depending on the set. The numbers presented in a given module will appear in future modules for reinforcement. In modules that have interactive components featuring right and wrong answers, information on the number right, wrong, and not answered are shown at the end of the module.

The program is used by a variety of educational facilities as well as educators and parents in order to assist their children in the development of mathematics to amazing degrees of success.

The Seeing Numbers Application for iOS is an extension of this program and allows a mobile and interactive interface with which children can begin to learn these fundamental mathematical concepts. The application provides a way for children to learn the Seeing Numbers concepts by providing a vocal component which instructs and teaches children. In addition, it provides a series of flash cards which the child can go over with a parent or teacher in order better understand those mathematical concepts.


Set 2

Modules five through eight reinforce what was taught in the previous modules and expand on it, providing even more interactivity.

Module 5 contains the graphics of zero to nine using color, patterns, and shapes. In this module the colors of red and blue, the shapes of circles and squares, and multiple different patterns are used. The critical difference in this module is that patterns are presented with two colors.

Module 6 starts off with a series of interactive slides, where the student touches the specified cards (for example, "Touch the 6s"). It later presents the operation of addition patterns using color, patterns, and shapes. This module introduces the concept of another name for the same number and presents the new name in a number sentence. Different phrases such as "is the same as" and "is equal to" are used.

Module 7 presents the operation of addition patterns using color, patterns, and shapes. This module continues to use the concept of another name for the same number and presents the new name in a number sentence. Mathematical sentences using + and = are also presented. This module includes the addends for 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Module 8 continues to present the operation of addition patterns using colors and shapes. It continues to use the concept of another name for the same number and presents the new name in a number sentence. Mathematical sentences using + and = are presented, including sentences where the sum is on the left-hand side of the equation. This module includes the addends for 6, 7, 8, and 9. It also includes a section where the student touches the specified cards (for example, "Touch the 6s").


Flash Cards

Also included with this iOS application are Flash Cards that use the same patterns used in the physical Seeing Numbers flash cards. These flash cards come with the ability to choose the Beginner or Advanced sets (or both) as well as allowing the user to choose which numbers from zero to nine he or she wishes to include.
