What's It About?
QUICK MATH JR. features six games, and each focuses on a different number-sense skill. In Number Match Monsters, kids count monsters and tap to show how many there are using dot patterns, numerals, or number words. In Spotlight on Subitizing, kids have to quickly estimate the number of monsters on the screen without counting them. Number Memory Mansion has kids keeping track of how many monsters enter and leave a house. Kids drag monsters into a bus to match a given number in Count and Add Bus. In Number Line Train, kids practice the number sequence by dragging numbered monsters and placing them in order, and in Place Value Boat Balance, kids match numbers using tens and ones. They can earn and create new monsters as they play, with features such as fun hats, silly eyes, and goofy mouths.
Is It Any Good?
Fun graphics that move and make sounds will delight young learners and make math approachable. Each game becomes more challenging as kids play, providing an excellent learning platform that adapts to a kid's needs. Games are automatically selected based on progress, but it would be helpful if kids had the option to choose their games so they can focus on a particular skill if desired. A report card feature helps adults monitor kids' progress, and there are useful learning tips on the developer's website. Because of the range of skills covered, its clear learning goals, and its adaptive targeting of kids' needs, it's a good choice that you can try for free.

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
