Lots of Topics

What We Liked:

Rocket Math saves the rockets, medals, and money for up to five players – always a must in our large homeschooling family! You can turn the sounds and music on and off, and there are just a LOT of educational math concepts available for practice in this app.

When you are earning money to build your rocket (the drill section), if you choose an incorrect answer, all of the answers disappear except for the correct one, allowing children to correct their mistakes.

The fun game physics make it exciting to see your rocket launch, fall to earth, and bounce all over the place upon landing – there is always the challenge of trying to build your rocket to launch higher or stay airborne for longer for the engineering minded child.

What We Didn’t Like:

The text font is unconventional and a bit tricky to read, particularly for early readers, and while some of the concepts are very simple (tapping on pennies for example), the lack of spoken instruction makes this app a difficult one to use for children who aren’t yet reading independently.

Overall:

There are few game-based math apps that you can use to practice such a wide variety of math skills as you can with Rocket Math – and for only $0.99, it’s easy to see why this app is such a fast favorite amongst homeschooling families. If you are learning a primary level math topic, you’ll likely find one or more mission in Rocket Math to use as a fun educational supplement AND your children will have fun blasting into space while they do it.

Disclosure: I received a promo code of this app to review.
