A beautiful, intuitive game that intelligently teaches math -- you've never played anything like it. It's far more than a times tables memorization exercise; it fosters thinking and understanding: - Automatically finds weak areas: gives more practice in problematic areas to correct frequently made mistakes. - Groups together related factors (e.g. 2 x 5, 4 x 5, 6 x 5) for more intuitive understanding. - Elegant design links specific types of factors with specific colors and musical tones. - Difficulty level adjusts to the player: play with double-digit multiplication if you've mastered the basics. A beautifully designed app for ages 4 to 70+: - Soothing, noninvasive music. - Clean, modern look. - No ads, tracking, external links, or in-app purchases.
