Bubble Maths with a 'spooky' twist... This app will test your maths skills, starting with simple sums through to more complex addition and subtraction. There are 25 questions per level. For every correct answer you get a star, with the aim to get all 25 correct. Complete one level to unlock further levels until you have completed them all.
