UDL Guideline 7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity
Animal Math is an excellent app for optimizing relevance with preschool and elementary age students as it provides activities that are socially, age, and ability appropriate. This app allows children to play with 100 math games full of music, animation, and positive reinforcers.

General Critique:
This app allows students to be active in the learning process. This app acts as the instructor, but teachers or parents can adjust the difficulty and other settings to scaffold instruction. The curriculum expands in the app as students master concepts, and while this app has concepts that are fundamental in nature, the digital components amplify these arithmetic concepts in a simple mobile application.
