Kids Learn Math: A+ Edition
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
Kids Learn Math: A+ Edition lets players in grades 1-4 test the math skills they've learned so far. There are various mini-games and exercises that ask players to tell time, solve word problems, answer basic addition and subtraction questions, and identify numbers on the screen. There are more than a dozen mini-games in total, with each one helping players to refine the math skills they've already learned in school.
Is It Any Good?
Kids Learn Math: A+ Edition allows players to test their basic math skills in a fun and unique way. This game's carnival theme makes addition, subtraction, number recognition, and other math lessons a bit less intimidating. Even the most math-phobic players will be able to find enjoyment in some of the mini-games here. However, there is a large disparity in the difficulty level between different exercises.
