PreNumbers – pre-numeric skills

Icon: PreNumbers App von LIFEtool, 3 trees

PreNumbers is an application that provides basic pre-numeric skills.


PreNumbers for iPad is available in two versions:

  • PreNumbers: Only a limited number of exercises can be used. An In-App Purchase is required in order to use all exercises.
  • PreNumbers PRO: All exercises can be used without limitation.

PreNumbers for Windows: All exercises can be used without limitation. The application may be tested for free.


Pre-numeric skills include:

  • sorting things by specific characteristics
  • dividing things into classes with specific characteristics
  • recognize and distinguish shapes
  • quantify and compare quantities
  • detect seriality (recognize logical sequences and continue)
  • recognize symmetries and patterns


The application offers exercises for different skills in multiple difficulty levels. A simple presentation (forest theme) supports concentration on the essentials. A childlike design was avoided, in order to make the app appealing also for older children and adolescents.

Completed exercises are recorded by the application in order to document the learning progress.

To enable the use of this application with several people, a user manager is offered. Individual settings and results will be saved and can be loaded quickly.

The exercises can be operated by alternative input devices such as external switches.
