Learn quick mental arithmetic step by step with Math Kobold. Fun levels, good music and various rewards create a positive atmosphere for practice and motivate to play again. Join Math Kobold on his journey through the woods and hills and hold off nasty opponents by quickly solving math problems. Before you take off, you choose which kind of problems you want to solve: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Then select the number range (up to 10, 20, 50, 100 or 1000) and the Kobold is ready to go. On his journey the Math Kobold meets many creatures that all have one thing in common: He can only pass if he solves the math problem they present. You choose between two possible results by tapping the side of the screen where the correct result appears. And if you ever got one wrong: The Kobold is a tough guy and has more than one life! And at the end of each level a chest of gold is waiting for you and you can advance to the next level or choose a higher speed. So do you think you can make it to the last level with lightning speed? This app has the following motivating features for children in primary school age and beyond: - Supports all basic calculations including multiplication tables - Multiple unlockable difficulty levels provide challenges for all ages and skill levels - The adaptive math problem generator will select easier calculations if you cannot solve some in a row - Random and constant repetition of tasks improves mental arithmetics and times tables skills - The Math Kobold rewards fast selection of results with his legendary 'Yeah'-Move - The more 'Yeah!' moves, the more stars you get for that level - Different gameplay settings and cool music keeps everyone coming back even in times when math is not on top of your list What was important for us when developing the Math Kobold app? 1. Training mental arithmetics and basic math skill should be fun! 2. Create a game that kids would love to play, with math problem solving as the key element to progress in the game. 3. Incorporate the feedback from children (including our own) and parents! 4. Make it challenging enough so that kids really want to work on their math skills. We are happy about any feedback and ideas that you have. Get in touch! Have fun with the Math Kobold on your way to become the fastest mental arithmetics champ on earth (or at least in your neighborhood)!

Special version for educational organizations. Math can be fun! “Fun Mathematics” is a fun and engaging game to practice mental arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) for K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders. Mental math (the ability to do math calculations in one's head) is an important skill for primary students required both to achieve academic success and in daily tasks that take place outside the classroom. It takes a lot of time and practice to master mental arithmetic. Our game is created to make this learning enjoyable and fun for children. The game allows you to select the math facts and operations you would like to master, so each grade in the elementary school (K-5) can play it: • Kindergarten: addition and subtraction within 10 • 1st Grade: addition and subtraction within 20 (Math Common Core Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5) • 2nd Grade: two-digit addition and subtraction, multiplication tables (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2) • 3rd Grade: multiplication and division, addition and subtraction within 100, times tables (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7, CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2); • 4th Grade: three-digit addition and subtraction You can select yourself the math facts and operations you would like to master and also configure the type of tasks and speed of monsters. Different levels, monsters, weapons, additional accessories and the clothes of the character won’t allow the child to become bored. Instead, these elements will motivate him to move forward in the learning process! We think fighting slime monsters is a more entertaining and interesting way of achieving daily arithmetic practice than flash cards or quiz apps. Kids in kindergarten all the way up to 4th grade will enjoy practicing mental math with the “Fun Mathematics” trainer! We would love to hear your feedback. In case you have any questions or comments about the game, please write to us at slimesapp@speedymind.net.
