Math Joy turns first math into a game little kids want to play again. Count flowers in the savanna, pop bubbles on the reef, share cupcakes at the candy factory, blast off in space and run the market stall. Every level is a short, cheerful adventure with a friendly animal guide, so your child learns numbers without ever feeling like they're being tested. NO READING NEEDED Not reading yet? No problem. Every question is read aloud in a friendly voice, and a tap on the animal or the speech bubble says it again. It works in all languages the app supports. LEARNING THAT STICKS 60 levels grow with your child, from first counting to telling the time: - Counting to 5, 10 and 20, and by 2s, 5s and 10s - Tracing numbers with a finger - Adding and taking away, with pictures to count - Sharing fairly, halves and number bonds - Tens and ones, and the biggest number - Coins, shopping and exact change - Patterns, shapes, positions and measuring - Telling the time, on the hour and half past NO PRESSURE, JUST PROGRESS A wrong answer gets a gentle wobble and another go. There are no lives and no game over, so your child keeps trying and keeps smiling. Finish a level to earn up to 3 stars, and race the boss at the end of every world. COLLECT ALL 60 STICKERS Each level wins a sticker for the My Sticker Book. It's a little reward that makes children want to come back and fill every page. MADE FOR FAMILIES - No ads, ever - Progress is saved on your device. The child's name, if you add one, never leaves it - Grown-up areas are behind a parental gate - Calm music and sounds you can switch off any time - Voice, music and sound effects each have their own switch in the grown-ups corner The Savanna world is free to play, so your child can start right away. If they love it, unlock all 5 worlds and every sticker with a one-time purchase: pay once, play forever.
