What Users Love About the App

“Beast Academy is a solid, yet creative math curriculum full of practice problems & challenging activities & puzzles. My son loves math – I needed something that would not be the same basic thing – since he already knew all of that – Beast Academy did not disappoint.”

“It takes everything to the next level, teaching kids how to manipulate numbers so many different ways, solve problems using different methods & the challenge problems are just what my son needs! I have seen an improvement in how he verbally explains his thought process, too!”

“My son is gifted in math. He is 6 years old and already completed 3rd grade curriculum for other classes. We started BA because he really needed to be challenged. We use the online version and he likes that he doesn’t have to do too many problems. However each problem requires him to think, he actually has to figure it out and he is definitely being challenged.”

“My kids both love these books. I have to tell them to put the books down and go to bed! The graphic novel provides great visuals and motivation to continue, while the workbooks provide just enough classic practice work.”

“Beast Academy is excellent. It reinforces learning using various types of problems. It’s in-built math puzzles are unique and trains young minds not only basic Math, but strategies to solve problems.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“We purchased Beast Academy for our child and were very disappointed with the quality of the practice materials. Beast Academy practice problems are highly abstract. Children need to move from concrete to abstract and the Beast Academy books fail to support that type of learning.”
