Does "Motion" help you learn Math?

There is a new app that I came across from a colleague, Dan Rezac, that I am interested in getting some feedback on. Motion Math - http://motionmathgames.com/.  Has anyone used this app that can give us some feedback on the quality? 

Mr. Klein said they chose to make a game about fractions because it’s a subject that is particularly tough for elementary-school students, and kids do better with fractions if they can develop a visceral understanding of them — something that sounds perfectly attuned to their “embodied cognition” theory.  Link:  http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/10/27/app-watch-combining-math-and-movement/

Hello IEAR,

You can find some reviews of our game here: http://motionmathgames.com/reviews/
We'd love to hear your thoughts, especially because we're currently working on the native iPad version of Motion Math.

Best,
Jacob Klein (jacob@motionmathgames.com)
