This is an app that will probably be best received by kids who are a bit “mathy” to begin with, and love learning new ways to solve problems. But both of them have benefited from a cool app called Mathemagics: Mental Math which teaches kids in middle school and up the tricks it takes to be able to do even super complex math problems in your head. My youngest has always had a knack for mental math, while one of my other kids is much more of a pen, paper, calculator, and eraser (so much eraser) kind of math learner.

Kids can get help with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, up through fractions, powers, statistics and equations - and while they say its best for kids in middle school, you can definitely age it up or down.(Older kids may even enjoy playing because you can compare scores with a global leaderboard.) As your child completes each level, they will earn points which raises their rank in society, from Farmer to King or Queen. They offer games that help tweens and teens work on basic math skills through quick, 10-question multiple-choice segments. King of Math, and its follow up, King of Math 2 (above), are both such addicting and effective math skill-building apps for tweens and early teens that the first app alone has been downloaded more than 10 million times since its release ten years ago. – The best math apps for preschoolers and little kids Best Math Apps for Middle School That Make Math More Fun – The best apps and YouTube channels to help kids with science – 10 terrific reading apps for kids in middle school and high school

Hope you find a few new additions to your App Library here for your middle schoolers - and maybe even your upper elementary students and teens will like some of them too.

These apps will help kids learn math concepts and practice their math facts through lessons and games that are enjoyable and rewarding and did we mention enjoyable? Because yes there’s tons of value in Khan Academy and we’re grateful for those free lessons! But if kids don’t want to use math apps in the first place, it doesn’t matter how effective they’re supposed to be if they’re not engaging and fun. Because there’s nothing like a 7th grade math worksheet to bring me to my knees and test the limits of my memory.

So I’ve put together my picks for the 10 math apps for kids that really help them with their middle school math homework. (Or maybe I was the frustrated and impatient one.) I used to say that I was okay teaching math until around 3rd or 4th grade, and then I needed some help explaining certain topics to my frustrated and impatient kids. As a former homeschooling parent, I am a huge fan of math apps for middle school - and for tweens and teens whatever their grade level.
