Mathtastic Game allows the children to practice their math skills. The game includes practice for all four operators (plus, minus, multiply, and divide). The child can choose the level as well. Each level has a different set of questions. The number of questions increases with the difficulty. After each game is finished a report is shown with all answers. If the answer was incorrect, the correct version is shown as well. For each correct answer, the child is getting a score. Also, the game is keeping track of the time and shows it in the report.
