A fun, sports-based math game - practice and improve your math skills. Children (and adults) love playing sports, and Math Arena combines sports with learning to reinforce and encourage simple mental arithmetic. There are six games, based on the following sports: + Ten Pin Time (multiple choice, tell the time) + Soccer Systems (select which side is larger or smaller) + Basketball Boost (solve 10 sums in 1 minute) + Boxing Battle (choose the sign to complete the sum) + Football Figures (break the code in 1 minute) + Hockey Heroics (available by In-App Purchase, multiple choice sums) Each game features 5 levels of gameplay, getting progressively harder. Over 120 achievements may be awarded for completing levels and passing other milestones - your child will actually want to get better at math to reach these achievements! Games also feature separate high score tables - the best scores for each game are available. Competition is a great way to encourage children to improve themselves! Although each game can be played separately, there is also a "Multi-Game" option - play each game once, one after the other. A separate high score table is available so you can see who gets the best score for a full game.
