"PopMath is a fun game for kids of all ages to practice basic math.

Pairs of bubbles float on the screen and your goal is to pop each pair. For example, one bubble says "7" and another says "3+4". Simply touch one bubble and then the other to pop them both.

At any time, you can choose different operators: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Once you've popped all pairs on a level, you see your time for that level and can move on to the next level, or keep practicing that level.

New levels increase the numbers shown in the bubbles, up to 1000 for addition/subtraction and 20 for multiplication/division.

PopMath rewards your child with fun sounds and end-of-level animations to make the experience fun."
