What MathTango is
MathTango teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to children aged 5–10+. A lesson-plan wizard creates an age-appropriate curriculum based on Common Core, and lessons advance as children master them. The app includes more than 500 puzzles across more than 40 levels, review levels, and a free-play mode. Addition and subtraction lessons use nine puzzle types, while multiplication and division use seven. Children complete missions, collect characters, and customize two worlds: Island and Starbase. The app supports multiple profiles on a device and can be used offline. It is available on Android, iOS, and Windows. The listed MathTango Plan costs $7.99 a month, with monthly or annual subscription options, and a 30-day trial is listed. The App Store listing describes the experience as ad-free and without in-app purchases, while also identifying it as a subscription service. Originator develops educational mobile apps for children and families.
