Math Makers (2021) is an educational brain game for primary school-age children to gain confidence in maths.

It stands out for how it makes mathematics approachable through short interactions with charming characters.

From the same developer as the Slice Fractions series, where you learn about fractions to help animals on their journey. The gameplay is much the same but applied to a broader range of mathematical concepts. You use swipes and slices on the touchscreen to create numbers, move blocks around, and solve simple puzzles such as putting out fire with an equivalent amount of ice, in ways that rely on various maths skills like addition or multiplication.

As you progress, the puzzles slowly get more challenging and introduce new concepts, but keep to the simple objectives to make the learning intuitive and straightforward. You can tailor the experience by selecting specific areas you want your child to learn, as well as their age and current ability.

The result is a game that gently guides your child through the basics of some of the most important maths skills in everyday life. It keeps things fun and relaxed through the cartoon visuals, simple controls and objectives, and fun animals, while still offering meaningful education and learning.
