What's It About?

MAGIC MATH ACADEMY encourages kids to learn and practice math skills through play. It's free, but in-app purchases are necessary to unlock all the options. Audio and visual directions and prompts support kids as they engage with the app. Kids can learn and practice math skills under two different modes. Math’s Journey requires little ones to use math skills to help a young wizard navigate 10 different environments, such as Candy Land and Dream Valley, filled with challenges and obstacles in order to save his friends from little bad guys. Kids have the option of focusing on numbers or operations when playing Math’s Journey. The learning and practice are embedded in the game. When playing under Wizard’s Workshop, they can choose to focus on numbers and counting, operations, geometry and space, or mathematical thinking. This mode presents mathematical concepts before giving kids the opportunity to practice their understanding through games. A wizard explains concepts verbally and through visual representations. Parents can access a learning progress report that allows them to monitor how their kids are doing.

Kids say: Not yet rated

Engaging games will motivate kids to learn and practice basic math concepts embedded in magical adventures and reinforced by a wise wizard, who explains concepts with clarity and with visual supports. The mathematical fairytale theme and the graphics are appealing, which will ensure kids feel captivated when tackling mathematical concepts. Both modes, Math’s Journey and Wizard’s Workshop, are simple enough for little kids to navigate. Magic Math Academy supports players with clear verbal explanations, visual supports, and vivid prompts. Kids who need to see information presented in various ways will get what they need through explicit verbal and visual explanations. The learning progress report feature is pretty cool and allows parents to see what topics kids have tackled and how they're doing. Parents can use this information to reinforce certain topics through other methods. Overall, it's an educational and entertaining experience that will help kids develop mathematical thinking. Parents can enrich the experience by engaging kids in real life mathematical scenarios that echo what they see in Magic Math Academy.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
