Arithmetic Invaders Express: Grade K-3 Math Facts

I had my boys try this out and once they figured out moving with the arrows they thought it was fun. The planet theme is a fun bonus they really wanted to move up the planet levels. It would be nice if you could save different users so that each player would have to unlock all the levels in progression. Right now,once the levels are unlocked they are open to anyone. Otherwise the boys had fun with it.

Does need to have a setting control to say the numbers on them also for the younger kids since it is supposed to start at K. Also for the younger kids either shorten the written stuff before pages or have them narrated for the beginning readers. The robotic voice, although cute ( & very reminiscent of the early Atari & Sega games) was a little difficult for my daughter to understand.

3.5 stars. Not a bad little skill practice app with Space Invaders style graphics. It probably won't hold a child's attention for days, but decent for several 15 to 20 minute practice sessions. For children that need more time for computation, this game may be a little fast and frustrating. I would probably use this with an advanced 1st grader or 2nd grader.

I like the setting for the app... Like a video game. One thing I would suggest is the pages between the levels have way too many words in them. Either take them off, because the beginning levels are for kindergarten level or have them be read aloud. Otherwise cool app. My boys will definitely love it.

The thing that hooked me was the alien voice welcoming me. This would be so engaging for kids. I like the black sky background which makes the items stand out. Finally, I like how planet facts are mixed in. I haven't finished a mission yet, but I will try this with my students who are sure to be more successful!
