Mental Math is fun with Math Balance - kids help Toby reach home by balancing bridges and while they have fun, they also learn about equality/comparison, gain flexibility with numbers and practice skills that are essential for understanding algebra. This mental math game with 30 levels will help your child get necessary fluidity with numbers. Your child will learn things like addition can happen in any order for the same result, or that sum of different numbers can add up to be the same number. They will also end up having to use different number strategies, such as bridging and compensation which can significantly speed up their mental math computations. These are the skills covered by Math Balance - - Developing meaning of equal sign, using, greater than and less than sign - Set up numbers in their expanded form - Commutative property of addition and, later, using it and expanded form as a strategy to add ex: 67+25 = 60+7+20+5 = 80+12 =92 - Missing Addend strategies:x+b=c, where x is to be found, situations where difference is unknown, where there is a bigger unknown and where there is a smaller unknown -one step problems - Showing that addition and subtraction are inverse; 4+5=9, 9-5=4 - Use only doubles, Use only even/odd numbers to get to a total - 1 step word problems -Change unknown, Result unknown, Start unknown - add a string of two-digit numbers (up to four numbers) by applying place value strategies and properties of operations. Example: 43 + 34 + 57 + 24 = __ - Using concrete models to show addition and subtraction - Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900 - Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction - Multiplication as repeated addition For those who follow the Core curriculum, this maps to the following core standards - 2.OA.B.2, 2.NBT.4, 2.OA.2, 1.OA.6, 2.OA.C.3, 2.OA.1, 2.NBT.6, 2.NBT.7, 2.NBT.8, 3.NBT.2.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Math Balance Educational Games at none against Math Learner's shown. Math Balance Educational Games also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 23%). Math Learner's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 4.2K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Math Learner sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Math Balance Educational Games sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Math Learner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Learner has 121K ratings behind it against 4.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Math Learner's written reviews are positive against 45% of Math Balance Educational Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Math Learner ships an update every 2 weeks, Math Balance Educational Games fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
