Mathlete

Many folks find Math to be scary for one reason or another. In reality, every child needs to be familiarized with math early on. Practicing simple math problems can help keep your mind sharp too. Mathlete is a fun iPhone app that can come handy in both situations. It can help you motivate your children to learn math. It can also act as a brain workout for adults.

Mathlete brings a sense of competition to your math workout. You can compete against friends using Game Center. The game has 4 levels of difficulty, so you won’t get 2 + 2 questions all the time.

Support for Game Center adds a whole new dimension to this game. Competing against others can motivate you and your young ones to tackle math problems more often. It would be nice if the game were more social media friendly.

Mathlete won’t make you a math wizard. But it does include fun, simple math problems for you to tackle when you have some down time. It’s great for kids too. Math is not too scary if you spend some time playing with it.
