Nickelodeon launches kids maths app

Nickelodeon has launched Team Umizoomi: Math Racer, a new maths-based iOS app for preschoolers.

Based on maths-oriented preschool series Team Umizoomi, the new app uses a car racing theme to help kids develop curriculum-based numerical and maths skills.

Users of the app, which is available in the US, choose from one of their favorites Umizoomi cars that they race around the track collecting coins and taking part in maths-based pit stop challenges.

The maths challenges include number identification, counting and basic addition and subtraction.
