App Description

Perfect for 5 to 11 year olds wanting to practise their addition and subtraction in a fun, interactive way. The Squeebles are back - and they need you to use your addition and subtraction skills to help them!

By answering addition and subtraction questions across a variety of game modes and difficulty settings, you can free the 24 Squeebles from the clutches of the nasty Maths Monster, as well as earn turns on a fun mini-game as a reward for doing well in your maths tests.

Features:

> 6 game modes:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Random (both addition and subtraction questions in the same test)
- Fill the gaps (you get given the answer and part of the question and have to complete the question - i.e. 3+?=9)
- Tricky questions (the questions you got wrong previously)
- Money (add the values of various coins together - choose from either British Pounds & Pence, Euros or US Dollars & Cents)

> 4 difficulty levels for each game mode mean this app is suitable for 4 year olds just starting out with adding as well as 10 or 11 year olds who need to practise more complex maths work:
- Beginner (answers between 1 and 10)
- Medium (answers between 1 and 20)
- Hard (answers between 20 and 100)
- Very Hard (answers between 100 and 1000)

> Difficulty levels can be switched off or on, on a per-child basis, so older children can't just earn lots of rewards for answering beginner-level questions and beginners won't get demoralised by being shown more complex sums.

> "Squeeble-cart" mini game gives children a reward for doing well in their maths questions. For each question they get right, they win one turn on the game. The game involves trying to launch a car with a Squeeble in it as far as possible down a race track.

> Rewards and power-ups to use in the squeeble-cart game can also be won by doing well in maths tests.

> Stars are awarded for completing tests correctly and in quick time. These can be traded for different cars to use in the squeeble-cart game. There are 40 cars to collect, each with different stats.

> There are 24 Squeebles to rescue from the Maths Monster, each with their own personality and fact sheet which tells you all about them.

> Unlimited children can be registered with the game, meaning this app is suitable for classroom use as well as for home use.

> Passcode-protected stats area lets parents / teachers see how well each child is doing.

> No in-app purchases, adverts or web links of any kind.

> US and UK English options so the Maths Monster becomes the Math Monster etc.
