The parents' guide to what's in this game.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Kids Learn Math: A+ Edition is an educational game that provides players with various math questions and puzzles. These challenges are presented in a carnival setting, turning activities like solving addition problems, telling time, and figuring out math riddles into carnival games. The game is intended for players in grades 1 to 4. It is designed to reinforce the lessons children are learning at school, and does not fully go through the process of teaching players the skills that are required.

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.
