Is It Any Good?

MATHGIRL NUMBER GARDEN drills kids on counting, sorting and grouping objects. Whether or not girls really need those objects to be presented to them in feminine pastel hues is debatable, but it's nice to see any developer aiming a math game at young girls. The time pressure adds a fun element of challenge, making it feel decidedly more game-like than work-like, but this app is really all about reinforcing the ability to group items numerically. And there's even a hidden lesson on budgeting in the way the rewards are doled out -- you get stars for each level completed, but how you spend those stars is up to you.

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.
