Math Dash

Read full description

Math Dash is now hand-drawn! Every screen is a sketchbook page (and a chalkboard in dark mode), with big, easy-to-read numbers made for small hands. Run, jump and grab the right answers in a fast, friendly running game that makes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and spelling practice feel like play. NEW: TRICKY FACTS Mixed up 7 Γ— 8? Math Dash saves the facts your child gets wrong and turns them into a gentle practice run where the answer is hidden, so they really work it out. Get a fact right twice and it's mastered. The results page always shows the right answers to learn from. 9 GAME MODES Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide, where you pick the exact number to practice (like only +3 or Γ—4), plus Spell, Fractions, Count, Pattern and Collect. 3 SPEEDS AND 8 WORLDS Easy, Medium and Hard, and eight worlds to run through: Sketchbook, Meadow, Beach, Space, Forest, Arctic, Volcano and Underwater. KIND BY DESIGN A wrong answer is just a quick wobble, never a penalty. Stars, XP, levels, badges, characters and a daily streak keep kids coming back. DAILY CHALLENGE A fresh challenge every day with bonus XP. ASK SIRI "Practice tricky facts in Dash-Collect", "Play today's challenge in Dash-Collect" or "What's my streak in Dash-Collect". FOR GROWN-UPS A grown-ups corner, behind a parent check, with sound settings and a progress report. No ads, no tracking, no accounts and no chat. Progress stays on the device.
