Most kids would rather play a video game than practice their multiplication tables – which is why the game developers at Wombi have found a way to make both possible. With the virtual touchscreen app Wombi Math, kids can discover that practicing mathematics isn’t so boring after all. This application allows children to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with an easy-to-use matching game. Wombi Math can be downloaded August 27, 2013 through the App Store or Google Play.
Whether you’re introducing basic addition or trying to master hard multiplication, Wombi Math offers a way to design your own challenges for practicing mathematics. With options for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you can choose the method and the numbers you’d like to practice. That way, the game is designed specifically for the player.
The objective of Wombi Math is to make mathematics fun again. Developing these skills isn’t easy, but with the help of a colorful, animated game, students might be more eager to put in the practice. The setup involves an illustrated brick wall that is covered with equations and answers that need to be matched up.
Wombi Math is pretty basic for the average user: using a touchscreen, players tap the equations on the board in front of them and pair them with the right answers. The hard part is the math.
This game maintains a light, fun tone for players by using sound effects, playful animations, and colorful design. Correct answers cause the equations to disappear, making the board clearer and clearer the more you solve. Wrong answers get another chance. All the while, players are guided by a friendly character that makes various silly expressions depending on the answer given.
Wombi Math ($1.99) will be available August 27, 2013 for Apple and Android devices. Supported languages are: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.
