Matific was a huge hit with parents who were convinced that it was an app that every parent and educator must have in their educational arsenal. The process of getting going is quick and easy. Once you select the grade your child is in, it gives you a customized course for them to work though. Matific Galaxy is designed to teach children core math skills in a fun and educational way. You will love that your child is learning, and your child will love that they are playing a game, so everybody wins. The lessons are broken down into playful “episodes,” and most are completed within just a few minutes, which then unlocks the next segment. Having these brief episodes not only holds the childs attention, but it also allows for easy stopping points if needed. The basic story of the Matific Galaxy app is that a mean alien has gone around stealing the pixels from other aliens on various planets. They need you to use your math skills to win back their pixels and save them. Its a fun and interactive experience that is encouraging, motivating, and exciting. This is a completely self-paced and self-guided “curriculum,” and your child will be motivated as they earn prizes and ribbons along the way. The animations are funny, silly, and totally age-appropriate. Parents appreciated that Matific can be used independently by kids. There is reading involved for instruction purposes, if your child is not yet a reader, there is a button they can click which speaks the instructions. There is such variety in the games and tasks that your child will never feel like theyre doing the same thing twice. Matific also offers a “Parent Zone” which is an easy to follow dashboard of your childs progress including the amount of time spent, types of topics covered, subject strengths and weaknesses, as well as motivational messages that can be sent to your child.
