Hit the Button Math is an app designed to help develop mental math and calculation skills. The app is aimed at 5-11 year olds. There are 166 different game modes of varying difficulty so it is useful throughout grades K-5. Answer as many questions as possible in minute-long games, or you can now practice without the pressure of a countdown timer. Questions are randomly generated which means it is very replayable. The game has been carefully designed for children, with large, widely spaced buttons. We recommend that young children play on a tablet. Six main topics are covered: * Times tables - up to 10 or 12 * Division - up to 10 or 12 * Square numbers * Number bonds * Doubling * Halving Between these topics, the four standard arithmetic operations are covered: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You can create up to 30 player profiles per device to track an individual's scores. If you prefer there's also the option to play as a guest. All data is stored locally on your device so you don't have to worry about privacy issues. We've also made it very easy for children to quickly switch between profiles after playing a game, if they're sharing a device. After each game, the score achieved is displayed along with the child's high score. Bronze, silver or gold stars and trophies are awarded depending on the score achieved in each game.

This hilarious version of Cinderella features struggling band, The Ugglies, in their quest to top the charts with handsome music mogul, Simon Prince. It’s hard to make it big in the music business. With a glittering record deal on offer, now is the chance for youngest sister Ella to shine. But can the Fairy Stylist work his magic and transform her from wretched to Rock Chick before midnight strikes? With squealing guitars and soaring vocals, this rocktastic adaptation of the original fairy tale has been transformed into an amazing new show perfect for 7–12s.
