Math Motion Zoom

Motion Math Zoom’s zoomable, stretchable number line is missing some numbers, and it’s up to your child to put the numbers back where they belong. The game uses concrete objects to represent abstract numbers: from dinosaurs in the thousands down to amoebas in the thousandths. Fun animal animations and sound effects help elementary school children master the number line.

Primarily designed for students age 13 and up, K12 Algebra I Study & Review (Lite) is a great way to practice Algebra on the go.

Math Magic

Are you smart enough to handle the request from magician? This is an addictive yet very challenging brain game.

I found Math Magic to be confusing at first; I couldn’t figure out how to clear the orbs. But, after getting the hang of it, I found myself hooked.

Reviewer Tip: Is it a good game once you figure out how it actually works. You need to match the color of the orb and the number which isn’t very clear in the instructions. I change my review once I found that out, the game becomes quite fun. [Link to source]

xGerms Counting

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention K12’s very own xGerms Counting game, as it’s one of the most popular apps we offer. Not to mention, the app is currently FREE through the Amazon App Store for Android. Coming soon to Google Play!

K12 xGerms Counting lets you practice counting up to 50 by capturing hoards of goofy germs. You’ll count by 1s and then by 10s, 5s, and 2s.

Features

• Perfect challenge for early learners just learning how to count
• Colorful, fun, animated germs to count and capture
• 16 challenging levels- easy, medium, and difficult for each skill

Toddler Animal Numbers

One of only a few educational math games I’ve found specifically targeted at pre-school age children, as most apps are made for children five and up.

Toddler Animal Numbers demonstrates the basic concept of counting to pre-school children, the names of the numbers from 1 to 10 and their order, the fact that each item can only be used once in counting and that the order they choose to count does not alter the result.

It’s a little simplistic, but that’s what you should expect from an app that only teaches you to count from 1 to 10. With the great animations and audio feedback, Toddler Animal Numbers is appropriate for ages 2-4.

Connect’Em

Conect’Em is a great puzzle game that I actually enjoy playing myself! The goal is to strategically connect blobs together using only the number indicated for each blob.

Younger children may enjoy the early parts of the game, but as the game grows more complex in later levels, you’ll find that this game has the potential to give people of all ages a mental workout.

Features

• Challenge mode with 4,000 levels!
• Arcade mode to play freely. The Easy mode in Arcade is great to learn about the game but also to get kids to learn about numbers.
• Time Attack where you will strive to beat your best all time record
