Magical Mathematics

We all know how kids (and ourselves, let's be honest) prefer to do something fun and exciting rather than spending time learning and practicing school-related activities. Magical Mathematics comes as a solution for parents that want to have their children enjoy math by adding a magical twist to it.

The app lets you know that it is specifically targeted towards children, since even the main menu is animated with witches and wizards flying on their brooms, accompanied by a whimsical soundtrack. Magical Mathematics is designed to be as fun as possible, as even the profile creation process is designed to be similar to the ones found in games. You choose a name, then one of the cute avatars from the provided roster, and you're done. Each time you log in to the app, you first have to choose which profile you will be practicing on, so no progress overlapping can ever occur.

Once you've created your profile, you gain access to various levels, with each being made available only after the previous ones have been completed. Each level of difficulty contains a set of five challenges, more specifically addition, difference, multiplication, division, and a challenge that encompasses all of the above. Each challenge is represented by a set of 10 calculations that your child must complete, and every time your child completes a challenge, he is awarded rubies and stars.  One thing worth mentioning is that these rubies and stars are purely cosmetic and hold no purpose other than being used as a scoring system.

Magical Mathematics doesn't bring a whole lot of features to the table, yet the neat game-like profile creation process, along with the reward system and whimsical atmosphere make this a great addition to any parent's digital library. Especially considering that the app makes your child think that they are playing rather than studying.
