Review: As soon as I started up Grade 1 Math Lite I knew this was not going to be your average kids app. Splash Math takes arguably kid’s most hated subject and makes it fun and engaging. This app is set in an underwater world full of mathematical goodness.
The game play revolves around the player being asked a series of math related questions which range from counting to identifying which expression displays subtraction. Aside from having a nice theme to entice the children to learn math, there are also rewards upon finishing each set of questions. I found the questions asked to be good for developing a Childs mind and getting them familiar which math. Once a player has succefully answered sets of questions, they are awarded a certain sea animal which they can add to their collection. The better you do the more animals you’ll have for your own personal aquarium. This concept is great and will help encourage the player to try and answer the questions correctly.
The sound and visuals of Splash Math are simply great. I felt good hearing the sound of winning and the water effects as you navigate throughout the app. The visuals made me forget for a while that I was playing a math game. This is due to the very themed menus which make this app a very well put together experience.
An added benefit is the parent’s mode which allows you to edit things such as the amount of questions, answer type, range of numbers and whether or not there will be a timer. There is even a summary of results which allow you to see how many questions the player missed and if you get the full version it even allows you to check out your Childs weak skills. This is very rewarding and goes a long way in helping your child increase their math skills. There are a total of 15 chapters in which your child can test their math skills.
Splash Math is a well put together app which should accurately test your Childs math skills as well as help them fix areas of need. The trail version allows 20 questions a day. I highly recommended the paid version which is only $9.99 USD. I consider this extremely inexpensive considering all that this wonderful app can do. Splash Math is available in the Google Play Store, Amazon, and for iOS.
