About

Monster Math Multiplication

Read full description

Ten questions. One new monster. Multiplication practice that feels like play. MonsterMath Multi turns times-table practice into a monster-collecting adventure. Complete a 10-question round to unlock a new 3D creature. Rotate it, discover its name, and add it to a collection of 100 unique monsters. LEARN WITHOUT PRESSURE A wrong answer never brings up a red cross or immediately reveals the solution. Instead, children see “Almost! Try again” and receive the same question until they solve it themselves. Every round ends with success—because children always get another chance. REWARDS WORTH WORKING FOR Every ten questions unlocks a monster your child has never seen before. Not a coin or a generic badge, but a colorful 3D creature with its own name and appearance. Children can: • Collect 100 unique 3D monsters • Rotate and explore each monster • Choose a favorite for the home screen • View silhouettes of monsters still waiting to be discovered The missing silhouettes give children something exciting to work toward. DIFFICULTY THAT GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD MonsterMath Multi includes six difficulty stages, beginning with 1–5 × 1–5 and progressing to two-digit × two-digit multiplication. After 30 questions with at least 80% accuracy, the difficulty increases automatically. It never moves your child backward. Parents can also set, freeze, or limit the difficulty at any time. SHORT ROUNDS, UNLIMITED PRACTICE The first round of the day is “Today’s 10.” After that, the button becomes “10 More!” and stays ready whenever your child wants to continue. There are no timers, stamina bars, cooldowns, or advertising breaks. If your child wants to answer 60 questions tonight, nothing gets in the way. MADE FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS • Two to five minutes per round • Progress for today, this week, and all time • Adjustable difficulty settings • No ads • No in-app purchases • No account required • No internet connection required Hand over the tablet. Then ask what they caught.
