What's it about?
There are two main options for play: Math Facts and Planet mini-activities. In Math Facts, kids complete a set of grade-appropriate drills as quickly and accurately as possible. In the Planet mini-activities, there are over 30 levels spread across five planets. Kids work on a variety of skills and activities with different themes. A progress-tracking program shows kids' scores as percentiles and as percent correct. Kids are motivated to earn points and stars, which they can use to unlock new avatars.
Is it any good?
4TH GRADE MATH PLANET – FUN MATH GAME CURRICULUM TO LEARN AND PRACTICE MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION, FRACTION, DECIMAL, ANGLES, AND MORE FOR FOURTH GRADE is packed with engaging and challenging grade-appropriate activities. There's a lot of interactivity, as kids must constantly tap, drag, or swipe to complete problems. The Skill Tracker is comprehensive and easy to use. Kids can switch from Math Facts, where they work on fluency, to the Planet mini-activities, where they work on various skills to build conceptual understanding. Instructional hints and feedback would boost the learning experience, but the built-in instructional scaffolding does a nice job of guiding kids through challenges.
