Description

Colorcross is a digital puzzle game teaching colors, logical problem solving, and spatial reasoning.

On the easiest difficulty,

  • You get a tiny grid (3 by 3 squares).
  • Each turn (or “move”), the game gives you a color.
  • Tap any square to change all squares in its row and column to that color! (Hence the name: Colorcross.)
  • Whenever a treasure is the same color as its square, it’s collected!

It contains 5 difficulty levels. Later difficulties have larger grids. Most of all, they add the mixing rule: if a square was already colored before, then it mixes with the new color. This opens up loads of opportunities for interesting puzzles (with secondary and tertiary colors).

As expected, the game has no text, numbers, or complex actions. Just tap one square on each turn. Thanks to these clever rules, though, it is an actual puzzle that will even challenge older kids and adults!

Whenever you match a color, a narrator will also say the word to reinforce it. The game contains an interactive tutorial and helpers to remind you of what mixing colors will do, all of which can be turned off in the settings. The game contains infinite puzzles and you can retry/undo easily without penalty.

Have fun!

This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:

This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.

This product is part of the Puzzle Game charm.

Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:

These are digital games that offer fun little challenges for Apprentices to solve, letting them explore and practice a topic all on their own. Most games do not require reading, counting, or computer skills (unless they specifically teach those things), and always offer endless puzzles at five different difficulty levels.

Spell: My First Colors

This resource is part of the My First Colors topic (or "spell").

To learn mathematics, you need to be able to identify, compare, and group things. Colors are the easiest way to do this, because they’re visual and all around you. Teaching about colors allows Apprentices to play games or do puzzles, as well as unlock their creativity by drawing.

This approach might work for some Apprentices but not for others! That's why we recommend exploring each topic in a variety of ways.

Maybe a (different) game works better? Or a quiz, story, or escape room? Below are some random suggestions.
