They are not just doing rote arithmetic as with the vast majority of arithmetic apps. They are thinking algebraically (e.g. what combination of numbers can give me this result?). They begin to realize that if their initially calculated sum is off by x, they can just switch one card by x to capture the villain. It’s fun and addictive, and hands down I would recommend this app. ### 4/5 — Numbers league *2020-01-25, version 1.2.1* Numbers league is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so fun ### 5/5 — Very well done; a favorite game *2016-09-06, version 1.1.0* One of my second grader's top three educational games on the iPad - and I enjoy it, too! The gameplay itself is excellent and motivating, without being high pressure. I especially appreciate that the default setting has the timer turned off. One suggestion: it would be hugely helpful to be able to select shorter games (15-20 villains) with more complex math concepts, such as negative number villains. Especially for students with less patience, shorter attention spans, or other special needs, the games with the more challenging math can be too long. Otherwise, a top-notch game. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fun math? Who would have thought? *2016-08-02, version 1.1.0* Fun graphics, fun music, fun rewards for catching bad guys with difficulty-tunable math makes this a fun game for me, as an adult, to wake up my math mind. I keep coming back to it, and updates keep making the capture screens fresh and amusing. It's engaging for kids or adults. Life gives math purpose, and so does this game. The problem with teaching math is putting math in a purposeful context. Few people do math just to do it. We do it toward some other goal. So does this game. Meanwhile the exercise makes the math mind stronger. If you have kids, get this game. If you don't, well, neither do I, and I like this game. It's at least as entertaining as games that only entertain, and the skills it exercises are actually useful when trying to center a picture on a wall (wall length minus picture length divided by two is the margin), or work with your home budget any of the other places that common math helps you solve life problems. ### 4/5 — Great fun and learning for many ages *2015-03-30, version 1.1.0* Both my kids have used this app for several years. It's great practice for mathematical thinking, and the art is awesome! ### 5/5 — Outstanding for kids and adults *2014-11-27, version 1.1.0* Genuinely challenging, particularly in the highest level. Can even be stressful (in a good way) if you have it in timed mode. Recommended for kids, parents, and teachers alike. ### 5/5 — I love numbers league!!! *2014-09-01, version 1.1.0* It's really cool! I like to smash villains and make numbers of what they all equal! This is one of my favorite games! I like to put the villains in jail and watch the machines nab the bad guys. (Mom review... This has been one our favorite games and I encourage playing with the iPad when I know this is an option. Has really helped reinforce the concepts of addition, subtraction, and multiplication over several grades. It's a fun game we can do together and both thoroughly enjoy :-)) ### 3/5 — Common core aligned *2014-06-19, version 1.1.0* This means the lowest gameplay level is numbers through 14. I'd like to meet a four year old who can add three numbers over multiple cards ex. Nine numbers added together on the simplest level for example. Hints give you multiple villain suggestions for instance you can capture villains with the numbers 4,7, or 9 you'd still have to add multiple cards or ex, hints not useful. Six numbers to find a correct answer. I don't believe all these glowing reviews unless your kid is a bit older no way. I've got a super smart one and although the game itself is stellar and slightly brilliant the ability to dial down the double digit numbers would be appreciated. You need to already know your adding up to ten pretty well to play this and enjoy it IMO. We will be filing away on the cloud for now, disappointed as reviews led me to believe younger kids could have adjustable gameplay like setting a range of numbers for totals to make it easier. It is not adjustable that way. Website lists all the common core identifiers. ### 5/5 — Up to 4 players, fun & educational,amazing! *2014-04-30, version 1.1.0* Infinitely playable, reliably fun, and your kids going even know their learning. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game happens to be excellent learning tool. *2014-04-30, version 1.1.0* Have fun and learn math skills, all while defending Infinity City, the artwork, game mechanics, sound and over all experience make for a great game to return to, again, and again, give this one a try, it's great for ages 4+. ## Frequently asked questions about Numbers League ### What is Numbers League?
