## What is Number Pyramid?

Number Pyramid is a math puzzle for kids — and anyone who likes numbers. Some boxes in the pyramid show a number; the rest are blank. Each box is made from the two boxes beneath it — their sum in the early grades, their product later on. Use what you know to work out the rest.

A preset for each grade from Kindergarten to Grade 6 follows the school curriculum: numbers to 10 in Kindergarten, adding and subtracting up to 10,000 by Grade 4, then multiplication in Grade 5 and division in Grade 6. Kids play at their own pace. Hints walk them through any box they're stuck on, one step at a time, and a scratchpad is there for working the math by hand.

Free: Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2, with hints, scratchpad, and progress tracking.

One purchase unlocks everything else, for the whole family: Grades 3 to 6, up to six player profiles, Time Challenge — a race against the clock with rising levels, in add/subtract or multiply/divide mode — and custom difficulty (pyramid height, number size, operators, negative numbers).

No data collected. No ads, no tracking. Works offline.

### 5/5 — A "great"  app.

*2012-03-19*

This  is  a  must  have  addition or  subtraction   skill  builder.  It  can  start  with  simple  problems  for  a  4  year  old  and    ramp  up  to  more  challenging  problems if   the  teacher  wants  to  do  that.  Fun and  educational  at  the  same  time.  Great,  and  worth  the  $0.99.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2011-11-25*

Doesn't get a 5 because can't save the level when you stop.  Really like that the level can be changed.  Has crashed recently too.

### 5/5 — Great but crashes

*2011-09-21*

As a math teacher I love the way it helps students practice mental math (adding and subtracting in their heads.) Lately the app has crashed a lot and needs the bug fixed. Otherwise I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great educational experiance

*2011-06-24*

Very useful

### 5/5 — Fun educational tool

*2011-06-10*

This is a nice and fun tool that helps strengthen basic arithmetics skills. I evaluated the app for my kids and ended up liking it so much i'm playing with it myself. It's a learning tool but it plays like a game!
