What’s It About?
First, create a user account (up to four) on AB MATH. Then, kids can choose from calculation drills, tables, or the bubbles game. In calculations, kids set play to easy, medium, hard, or expert as well as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division (or a combination of the four). They also decide to fill in the answers by tapping numbers or multiple choice. On tables, kids choose a number from which to work their multiplication tables. Bubbles includes four levels, four modes (classical, Roman numerals, ABC order, and multiplication), and five bubble styles. Kids can view results of past games.
Is It Any Good?
The simple drills and bubble game on AB Math will encourage kids to keep their math minds sharp. With a few extra minutes on hand, kids can play a round of bubble-popping math by solving the answers to math problems in order of least to greatest. There's enough customization here to allow kids to start with the basics of 1+2 and follow them through the end of elementary school (and beyond, to refresh and gain speed in basic math). Solving math problems time and again to gain proficiency may not seem like fun for many kids, but AB Math solves the problem with a few options and lots of bubbles to pop.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
