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.

Monkey Math Jetpack Adventure: Review

 

 

Bottom line: a fun way for kids ages 4 and up to learn and practice basic math skills. Free version available. And also, two words: monkey ninja.

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.

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.

Doodle Learning Maths: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: An odd pairing of a create-a-scene sticker app with math flashcards. May appeal to younger kids but school age students will likely lose interest after a few rounds.
