Choosing a Maths Game Checklist

Ten checks for a genuinely useful game.

Score any maths game against these ten checks before you commit your child's time.

• Does it target one clear skill?
• Does a wrong answer show the right one straight away?
• Can you focus on a specific table or skill?
• Are the rounds short and fast?
• Does difficulty adjust to the child?
• Is it free of pressure to pay?
• Are there no unsuitable ads shown to children?
• Can the child play it independently?
• How many questions per minute? (more is better)
• Does the child want to play it again?
