Math Mathews

 

 

       

        Math Mathews is a wonderfully engaging app for children in which they play a serious of three games in which they find answers to multiplication problems in order to advance the level. The bonus rounds are quite fun and filled with multiplication problems along with coins and treasures children can find along their way. The visuals images and characters are wonderful and the game itself is a different but excellent way to teach children multiplication. I love that children learn multiplication in a different format, one for each game which makes a child's learning complete. Every part of the game is a way that I remember learning multiplication in school. Previewing this app with a technology coach they were also amazed at the versatility of this app. I think this app gives back to teaching something that a lot of educators who have been hesitant against moving to technology need to see. It can be done just like we do it in the classroom but individualized to students needs.
 
Overall, I feel that Math Mathews is an absolutely amazing app. The practice round is wonderful and it holds a stress free way to play and learn. Overall, it is an excellent way to practice and reinforce skills in multiplication. The description of this app is correct when it states the game provides a playful and quality environment for learning. I would recommend this app for parents and educators that are working on multiplication skills with their children.
 
Improvements:
- An added level to go above the basic 1-9 multiplication table. 
- A level or problems dealing with the multiplication of a number and "0"
- An additional practice mode that is more like the problems and in the fashion they will see within the game itself.
 
Price: $2.99 (On Sale Currently for $0.99)
