Mathketeers

Features
Read full description

Mathketeers is a fun, ad-free math game for kids ages 4 to 12 that turns learning into an epic adventure. Children master counting, addition, subtraction, place value, multiplication, division, and fractions by playing β€” not by grinding worksheets. AN EPIC KNIGHT CAMPAIGN Run, jump, and explore 100+ hand-crafted levels. Hop across giant numbered stepping-stones in order (1‑2‑3!), hit a monster that splits into smaller ones to literally SEE multiplication happen, ride moving platforms, and beat bosses β€” all with no reading required, so pre-readers can play on their own. CHOOSE YOUR HERO Play as the mighty Knight for free, or unlock a whole roster of heroes with the Family Pack β€” including a spell-casting Mage who blasts foes from a distance. 13+ MINI-GAMES Math Blaster, Grand Prix racing, Shooting Gallery, Memory Match, Balance Beam, Number Path, Robot Coder, Board Quest, and more. Nearly every one sneaks in a real math skill (plus a couple of pure-reaction brain breaks) β€” and it all feels like play. A REAL CURRICULUM β€” PRESCHOOL β†’ GRADE 5 β†’ BEYOND Levels follow a genuine school scope-and-sequence, so your child can start at their grade and climb. An endless "Hero League" keeps challenging kids who race ahead. β€’ Numbers, counting & comparing β€’ Addition & subtraction β€’ Place value, skip counting & doubles β€’ Times tables, division & fractions ADAPTS TO YOUR CHILD Smart difficulty quietly eases up when a child struggles and ramps up when they soar β€” never boring, never frustrating. Wrong answers gently teach the right one; they never punish. MADE FOR FAMILIES β€” SAFE & PRIVATE β€’ 100% ad-free β€’ No data leaves the device β€” nothing is collected, tracked, or shared β€’ Parent Dashboard shows real progress by skill β€’ Purchases and outside links sit behind a parental gate β€’ One universal purchase: iPhone, iPad, and Mac Mathketeers is built to grow confidence and a love of numbers. The full curriculum is free to play; an optional "Family Pack" unlocks extra heroes (including the Mage), bonus coins, gear, and cosmetics β€” and never gates learning. Start the quest today β€” become a Mathketeer!

Verdict

The call
