Tablet Games for Preschool Classrooms

This paper describes the Next Generation Preschool Math project, a $3 million, four-year research and development initiative funded by the National Science Foundation. Over the past year and a half we have developed and tested more than 50 interactive prototypes to teach preschool math learning. We will discuss the eight apps that emerged from that work, as well as the prototypes. We will detail the iterative and collaborative production process that included researchers, developers, and teachers.
