Number Quest
Tap-to-answer sums with picture hints and a story.
Math Mountain · Ages 7–10
Scribble Math
A sum appears and your child writes the answer by hand, with a finger or Apple Pencil. The iPad reads the handwriting itself and shows the number it read.
- Kinds of sum
- Adding, taking away, times, sharing, mixed
- Ways to play
- Practice, Sprint, Ghost Race
- Write with
- Finger, Apple Pencil or keypad
How it plays
What your child does
- Write the answer in the gap. The game shows what it read.
- If it misreads a digit, scribble over it to rub it out, or tap “You read it wrong”. That never counts as a wrong answer.
- Stop writing and the game checks on its own. It waits a little longer if a number might have a second part, like an 8 drawn as two circles.
- A number keypad is always on the side, and using it is never marked down.
Three ways to play
Practice
20 questions with no clock.
Sprint
As many as possible in one minute, with a personal best.
Ghost Race
Race a ghost of your child’s own best run.
For grown-ups
Good to know
- Handwriting is read on the iPad itself. Nothing is uploaded.
- Recognition works best with neat print: one number at a time, a little apart and fairly big.
- The game saves itself, so your child can stop at any time and pick up where they left off.
