Popmath

Our Review

Popmath combines basic math drills (addition, subtraction, multiplication & division) with a matching game featuring floating bubbles. You match the corresponding math problem with the correct answer and…POP…you eliminate two bubbles. I sometimes struggle to review math applications but I knew this was a winner when I found myself choosing to play this game while pampering myself at the salon. This educational game exemplifies two of the greatest potential app qualities: learning and fun. Seriously, what could be more ideal? The playful twist to learning is fit for kids acquiring new skills and for adults looking to keep a sharp mind. Let your inner-geek rejoice!

PopMath is a fun game for kids of all ages to practice basic math.

Pairs of bubbles float on the screen and your goal is to pop each pair. For example, one bubble says "7" and another says "3+4". Simply touch one bubble and then the other to pop them both.

At any time, you can choose different operators: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Once you've popped all pairs on a level, you see your time for that level and can move on to the next level, or keep practicing that level.

New levels increase the numbers shown in the bubbles, up to 1000 for addition/subtraction and 20 for multiplication/division.

PopMath rewards your child with fun sounds and end-of-level animations to make the experience fun.

Yet it provides a non stressing experience: the time is shown after each level, but you don't loose. Just finish at your own pace. A personal message encourages you based on your time.

The last level is saved so you can start again at that level if you want, or simply "Go to Level 1" again.
