Take a Musical Mathematical Adventures with Adamup. We are 2 musical teachers who have developed a free Primary and SEN maths music resource (www.adamup.co.uk). Songs are centred around an alien called Adam Up who uses a magic calculator to solve various mathematical problems. Bearded ‘Number Crunchers’ pop out of the calculator and sing tricks and concepts using memorable, thematic, simple and catchy songs. We are still in the editing process but have lots of songs available in video/audio form. To be honest, we are looking for global domination and therefore trying to build up as many users/followers as we can before the final product comes out.

5 Fun Free iPad Math Game Apps

As of this morning, there were 92 apps that come up by searching the App Store for “math games” that are free and have ratings of 4 or higher. We ranked them by popularity and then tried a bunch of the popular ones, looking for apps that provide good functionality for free (as opposed to the many ‘free’ apps that are really just teases to buy a full version). Here are five that we liked (some of these do have fuller versions or companion apps that you have to pay for, but the free versions here offer useful gaming without requiring registration or fees).
