What's It About?
Kids choose their level (easy, medium, or hard) and how they want to play (drag the marble with their finger or roll it by tilting the device). Kids or parents can also customize questions to focus on specific skills or other currencies. Math problems appear at the top of the screen, such as "Collect fractions that add up to 2," and kids navigate through the maze with their marble to pick up answers to the problem. Kids can tap the "show me" button to see the correct maze pattern and math answer.
Is It Any Good?
MARBLE MATH is one of the most fun, customizable, and effective math games available for older elementary school-age kids. Moving the marble around the maze while collecting answers and avoiding obstacles is so absorbing that kids easily forget they're practicing math skills like fractions, decimals, and Roman numerals. As kids solve increasingly difficult math problems and move through challenging mazes, they earn points and new marbles to keep them motivated. Marble Math is an engaging, sticky way for kids to practice math skills.

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
