Sometimes we here at Good Free App of the Day have grown so accustomed to a certain free app that we forget that most of the world may not be. We take this free app for granted, not noticing its continued, faithful appy goodness while we're off chasing the next big thing.
Since we've now reached close to 30k followers worldwide, it's time to ensure that everyone knows about the free version of Mathmateer. The full version of this app is one of our Top Picks and the free version isn't just one small thing and then a giant request to buy more. Mathmateer Free includes five different kinds of math practice: numbers, time, U.S. money, shapes/patterns and multiply/divide, all part of a terrific build-a-rocket-and-launch-it game.

Bottom Line: An app that uses an accelerometer game to reinforce learning about money, healthy eating, and other positive choices. Missing a few key elements.
