Rocket Math is a $0.99 educational game with an unsurprising focus on math.  Your goal is to take math quizzes in order to earn money.  This money can then be used to customize your rocket.  By launching your rocket, you launch into another area with other math challenges.  These can be anything from matching certain types of coins, matching even or odd numbers, matching shapes, and so forth.  I’d suggest this for probably first and second graders.  While there are over 90 different rocket parts and 56 different math missions, I don’t think it is going to keep the attention of anyone over the age of 10 or 12.

The app is currently on sale for the $0.99 price.  Its regular price is going to be twice that.  If you have kids in the right age group, I can see where this would be a way of making learning math something fun.  If I had one suggestion, it would be to expand the target audience with different levels of problems.  Otherwise, the $0.99 price is likely more than you’d want to pay if you only have one child and they pick up these basic principles fairly quickly.
