Parents need to know that Learn Math is a math-themed educational game that provides a broad spectrum of math challenges for kids between the ages of six and ten. The majority of activities are in the style of those found in workbooks and focus on basic skills including arithmetic, geometry, and time. Older kids will have no problem understanding what to do, but younger ones will need the help of parents to discern what is required of them in certain activities.

Educational value: Players answer a variety of math questions suitable for early grade-schoolers. Kids will be able to practice everything from addition and subtraction to geometry and problem solving.

Positive messages: This game doesn’t necessarily make working with numbers and shapes fun, but it does encourage and provide a novel means by which to practice basic math skills.

Positive role models: A mostly static but happy-looking little monster delivers text instructions for each activity.

Ease of play: Activities are divided into four neat groups (first through fourth grades, but they are referred to as 2nd year- 5th year because they consider kindergarten as the 1st year of school) based on difficulty. Challenge levels are suitable for each recommended age, though, oddly, we found some activities in earlier grades more difficult to fathom than those in later grades. However, this had more to do with poorly worded instructions than difficulty; once the objective was understood the underlying math was simple.
