Last week, we gave you a preview of Madagascar Math Ops, which defines a whole new way of learning Math. And after the eager wait, the app is finally out! We all remember how we hated calculations as kids and know how difficult it could be, to grasp those basics. Well now, thanks to Madagascar Math Ops, our kiddos are going to love maths.
Our friends from Madagascar, Alex, Gloria, Melmen and Marty have been trapped by the zoo and as usual, the penguin agents have come to the rescue. But they need your kid’s Math skills to make it happen.
Madagascar Math Ops is half work and half play. Before you enter a level, you’ve to help the agents set up their Equationator to shoot down enemies. Your toddler is given a set of equations and he has to either select the true statement or enter the right answer. Only then, he can proceed to the rescue mission.
The levels are sorted according to difficulty into 1st, 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd & 3rd-4th grades and have a varying mixture of the basic mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication & division. Also, the levels are sorted according to themes into cities. New York, Paris and Sydney are now available, with more coming soon.
Now to the fun part! The gameplay is similar to the Angry Birds and so, there is no question of disliking it. Catapult your agents into the animal cages to release them and crash objects on villains to defeat them. Yes, similar to rescuing exotic birds in Angry Birds Rio. Several powerups like jetpacks, bombs and missiles are also available to speed things up.
Unlike other similar apps where games and lessons are two different streams, Madagascar Math Ops brings them intermittently into a single stream. This will make sure that your toddler doesn’t stick just to the play.
The theme of Madagascar, the overall animations and the adventurous sound effects adds immensely to the excitement. To summarize, Madagascar Math Ops boasts a colorful execution, with praise-worthy gameplay and frequent Math exercises. Surely meets the recipe for an awesome educational app.
