New app makes math fun

How do you make math fun? Launch it into outer space!

Meteor Math is a numbers game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad, in which players tap meteors tagged with numerals in order to complete math equations. As the levels get higher, the time limit gets tighter, encouraging your child to solve math problems and puzzles more and more quickly. For kids of all ages, it aids in teaching basic arithmetic, as well as helping more math experienced mathletes brush up on their skills.

With puzzles focused on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this app will entertain and engage your child in a way that is by the numbers.
