Read full description

Mathalon turns elementary maths into an 8-bit adventure. Your child picks a class, walks a pixel world map, and battles monsters by solving real maths problems. Answer correctly and you strike; answer wrong and you take a hit. Gold buys better weapons and armour, and every chapter raises the stakes. THE ADVENTURE - Three classes, three fighting rhythms: the Knight charges up for a heavy strike, the Warrior tanks damage and hits every turn, the Mage stores mana for spells - Three chapters and a dozen regions: Sprout Village, Addition Plains, Multiplication Forest, Fraction Ocean, the Demon Castle pass, Geometry Mountains and the Decimal Glacier - Shops, inns, supply camps and schools: spend gold on gear, potions and warp scrolls - Bosses with real difficulty, and a daily quest that keeps the streak going THE MATHS (Kindergarten to Grade 6) - Counting, shapes and comparing amounts - Addition, subtraction, multiplication and long division - Fractions made visual: compare, add, simplify, convert - Decimals, place value, factors and primes - Order of operations and the laws of arithmetic - Coordinates, perimeter, shape classification and transformations - Averages, bar charts and probability WHY PARENTS LIKE IT - Questions are generated fresh every battle, so nothing gets memorised - Three difficulty levels scale both the numbers and the monsters - Get a question wrong and the app offers the matching lesson straight away - Separate progress for each child, with stars and levels - Bilingual: switch between English and Chinese at any time - Works fully offline. No ads. No sign-up. No data collected. Ever. Mathalon is built to be safe and simple for young learners: no accounts, no tracking, and everything stays on the device.
