Smart Apps For Kids

Monkey MathSchool Sunshine: Review

 

 

Bottom line: another 5-star offering from Thup. Makes early math-concept learning fun for kids ages 3-6.

Lola's Math Ship: Review

 

 

Bottom line: the speed and strategy needed to clear all levels in this game are enough to give young brains a fun workout even if the math isn't really much of a challenge. Free to try!

Maths Castle: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Kingdom Rush for kiddies. A tower defense game that uses math facts to earn powerful defenses to protect the kingdom from invading armies. Free Lite version to try before you buy.

Mystery Math Town: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: the sort of off-the-wall app that might be played at Hogwarts if Harry, Ron and Hermione had to trouble themselves with something as mundane as math problems.

Review: Math Mathews and the Search for the Necklace of Sylla

 

 

Bottom line: Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean, with some great multiplication table practice thrown in. Well-drawn graphics and a deep back story make math fun for ages 8-11.

TeachMe: 3rd Grade - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A bit of a disappointment as the tried and true formula of answering problems and earning coins doesn't appeal as much to older students and the content is much too rudimentary and doesn't match the skill expectation and independence for this age group.

Mathtopia+

 

 

Bottom line: A fun, addicting game for students of all ages who need to improve speed and accuracy of math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Free Lite version.
