I am a secondary math teacher, and this game is at a primary level. Therefore, I tried my best to view it as though I was my 4-year-old son. I believe this is a cute game that has some educational benefits. It reviews simple addition and comparing numbers. The problems do get harder as your progress through the game. I think the engagement level is somewhat moderate, and I am not sure my son would continue to play unless encouraged. The feedback is immediate, but it does not explain why you were wrong.

The problem solving on this game is great. The objective of the game is to add up the correct amount of money that the people give you before they get on the bus. This game can really help teachers teach their students how to add up money. -Douglas2017 2/27/14
