About

Ludwig's Math Lite

Features
Read full description

The full version of this app has been #1 in Sweden in Category Games and Education and #1 in Children Category. Train your math skills with this App. You can combine four levels of difficulty with four types of arithmetic ( +, -, × and ÷ ). For each level you need to solve the questions faster and faster. Between each level you get a bonus chance. The game concept makes it fun and you really need to concentrate during the excercises. The game is developed by Ludwig (7 years) and his father. Ludwig’s part has been ideas, testing and company during the construction of the game. We hope that it will train the math skills in a fun way.
