Not only does it teach mathematical concepts in a fun way, it teaches how to construct objects and form proofs in a fun way. “This is the best children’s app I have ever seen. I’m not sure he could explain the principles to me, but he knows that he needs the triangle to have two equal angles to make two equal sides.” I loved geometry in school but my son was quickly surpassing me in this game. “Very fun game for kids and a very sneaky way to learn geometry. The game is divided into seven chapters featuring a series of challenging puzzles at each level as kids solve the puzzles, they progress in the game and learn geometric concepts at the same time. The game is designed such that users’ activities are aimed at defeating a monster plaguing a tower.

Developers may argue that the mechanics of algebra may be too complex to convey to such a young demographic – to be fair they have done a reasonable job to get children playing at least – but some children, especially ones that already struggle with mathematical concepts might be left feeling inadequate because they still don’t understand it…even after extended playing and successful level progression (which ironically, is achievable without really understanding the maths). Hence, it’s a very rote or “parrot” way of learning and misses the depth in learning that is required for solid understanding and learning retention. The point of the game is to teach the basics of algebra, but there’s no explanation as to why the mathematical symbols are doing what they’re doing. This illustrates the “how” part, however the “why” part isn’t so evident. The tutorial at the start is very simple and clear and most children would be able to learn what needs to be done to isolate the star box (or “x”). However, there are some problems with the whole concept which may leave some children feeling a bit confused (and for others – the whole algebra point may be missed). ![]() In theory, this game seems like a great idea – and for those with an aptitude for maths – it is. As the game progresses, the picture cards are substituted with mathematical symbols and hence the concepts of algebra start to appear (e.g., the star box card – which needs to be isolated – is replaced with the “x” symbol). For example, each card has a “night card” equivalent – by dragging and dropping onto each other – it creates the removable galaxy card. There are a number of ways to combined cards to achieve this. To do this, players must combine cards together (which creates a green galaxy looking card) – then once this card is pressed, it disappears – eventually isolating the star box. To advance to the next level, players must isolate the star box on one side of the playing field. Each field contains a number of picture cards and on one side – a box with a star on it. The game begins with 2 separate fields on screen.
