Each question correctly answered fills the space monster with colorful slime giving children the anticipation of getting slimed. Then collect the rocket stages and launch your rocket at the end of the game. Make math more fun whilst maintaining a strong educational purpose, which is not lost in the game. The reward is fun, not coins, gems or stickers!

Number facts are called out by a friendly child voice (British English), and there are several ways that learning is reinforced, by confirmation and repetition. When a wrong answer is given it stays in view so that the child can think about what is wrong.

Teachers:
Designed with teachers in mind the app can be customised in many ways, including a classroom mode which prevents children exiting the game. We listened to teachers about how long the iPad session should last. Metrics record which tools the child uses, time to answer and number of attempts. You can set up three different lesson plans for the child to select.
