Mathletix is designed to make learning the fundamentals of addition fun! We focus on short, session fun games that teach through repetition. We offer several different types of games to keep things fresh and fun all the while reinforcing number concepts through frequency and repetition. Mathletix is inspired by real classroom work and practice tests. We remove the pressure and pack the games with positive feedback. Players develop fluency in Addition, by using a system that increases the frequency of more challenging equations, and best of all the only competitions is their own best effort. "When learning is self-motivated by a need to know about something or, in this case by fun, it just works better" ~ Curt Becker Ph.D.,Cognitive Psychology Mathletix has an easy info tool that allows parents to quickly see which math facts are challenging their little ones, so you too can jump in to help. Mathletix games are easy to operate, fun to play, and will help your Mathlete build confidence and speed on their way towards math mastery!
