Set in ye olde days, your kids choose between 2 characters to complete Math challenges in Addition, Subtraction or Mixed maths.  With 9 levels in each book, the questions are more complex than your standard 4+12. Bringing in some basic algebra, your kids will be challenged to work out which number is missing in order to get the answer, and so on and so forth.

When they beat the dinosaurs by completing math challenges, they get an interesting historical fact about the stone age.

The math problems can be set to be super challenging by enabling decimal points, division, multiplication, etc.  The one major downside is there are way too many in-app adverts, so if the style of game suits your child, it might be worth purchasing the upgrade to remove all ads.

 Cool Math Endless Run ? 

Your child plays a cat on a mission to save their friends who have been kidnapped to Halloween Town.  To do this they need to earn coins, to upgrade their four math spells.

 Maths vs Dinosaurs 

Your child plays Maxx the monster and they go on an adventure to save their friend Dextra who has been kidnapped.  The games are fun and positioned in a way that mentally challenges how you approach the calculations. Each level introduces a new villain they need to beat, each one more challenging than the last.  The levels are beat by choosing the right equation for the set answer (e.g. calculations that work out less than 7).

The math problems can be set to be super challenging by enabling decimal points, division, multiplication, etc.  The one major downside is there are way too many in-app adverts, so if the style of game suits your child, it might be worth purchasing the upgrade to remove all ads.

The nice thing about this app is you can really customise the levels based on what year or grade your child is at school, or by choosing the things that they want to work on, as opposed to having to progress from the most basic level up.  The mission to save Dextra is also a great way to keep your kids engaged in progressing through the levels. This is a great free math game for kids!
