Matific is the game app on this list that most closely matches the 4 to 12 age range. Its App Store listing says the curriculum covers K to 6 skills and aligns with US and Canadian primary math, with topics that run from counting, time and money to fractions, decimals, percentages and early algebra. An adaptive algorithm sets the level, and children explore adventure islands, collect treasure and customize avatars as they master concepts. Audio prompts and how-to animations help children who cannot read yet, and parents get real-time reports in the app and online, plus regular email updates. Matific says 30 minutes a week improves test scores by an average of 34%, a vendor claim we have not checked. It costs $9.99 a month or $78.99 a year in the US App Store after a 7-day free trial. It ranks ninth because cheaper programs teach the same early skills with more structure. We compared documented features and published prices.
