Introduction
Build your own rocket with Mathmateer™ and fly it into space, where you will be faced with mathematical challenges featuring space junk such as coins, clocks, stars, and much more. This iPhone and iPad app enables you to have hours and hours of fun all the while getting better at math.
Featured on big names such as The New York Times, Children's Technology Review, and Appolicious, this app is gaining a lot of popularity and it also sports a very modest price tag of only $0.99, which is on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to children's educational games.
Let's find out how this game works.

Mathematical Missions
When you first begin playing Mathmateer™, you will have to create a rocket which you will fly into space to undertake the mathematical missions. There are more than 90 colorful rocket parts to choose from. The rocket simulator that launches your finished space vessel is powered by a realistic physics engine to ensure accuracy in learning.
For those who have more than one child, don't worry; Mathmateer™ supports up to five player profiles, so you can all maintain different games and distinguish yourselves using one of 15 space- themed avatars.

Engagement, Entertainment, And Education
Once you're floating about in space, you will face your missions: more than 50 fun mathematical challenges that are different each time. The game consists of very lively sound effects and music that truly engages and entertains your child, and the sound and music settings are completely adjustable.
Every mission employs the use of space junk which is floating about, and the materials range from coins to clocks, stars to pizzas! The difficulty of the mission is adjustable to three different levels and children earn a bronze, silver, or gold medal if they place in the top scores.
Whether it's easy concepts such as even and odd numbers, or complex ones such as square roots, this app has it all and will provide several hours of gameplay.
As with most children's educational game apps, Mathmateer does not have any ads or in-app purchases which means less distractions for your child during gameplay. There is also no social media integration or data collection integrated into this app. However, it does contain ads for other apps by the developer, though those ads do not detract from the gaming or learning experience.
