The Google chrome extensions library offers a lot of applications that can be used for teaching and learning. Most of them are in the form of games which make it intriguing for young kids making it fun to learn. The apps for mathematics range from kindergarten (preschool) up to higher grades (grade 12 and basic tertiary mathematics). The apps for mathematics cover counting, colours/patterns and shapes but at this point in time I was only interested in finding one that is suitable to help Grade R learners with counting.

 The app that I found most suitable is called ‘Writing Numbers Lite’. It helps learners with counting because it has a voice/ audio clip in which you can hear the name of that number. The number is also given in bold and you have to trace over it using the mouse. Also it will give you objects to count which are equivalent to the number in question.
