For learners that need extra practice with math fact fluency, Sushi Monster provides addition and multiplication practice in an engaging and challenging game format. Included in the app are 12 carefully sequenced levels (seven addition levels and five multiplication levels) with four rounds in each level. In each round learners are asked to meet a target number. By strategically placing sushi pieces around a monster to create true equations that equal the target number, learners win the round and earn points, stars, or trophies. These rewards, along with a personal best score, allow players to unlock new challenges and levels. Sushi Monster is designed to meet the Common Core State Standard to support strategic reasoning and computational flexibility in addition and multiplication.

What Users Love About the App

“The first time I played this, I was in 6th grade. I struggle with a learning disability in math. This game is a good way to brush up on math facts while not being bored to death or frustrated out of my mind. Nice Work.”

“So I got this game to practice some math to help me at school and I got because it looked like a way to make math fun! Thank you.”

“This game is amazing. It’s quite fun and challenging for me and my friends. I played this in first grade and learned what multiplication was from this game and not from my teacher. Now I’m in fourth grade and still enjoying it.”

“I love this app! My sister had it when she was in 6th grade now she is in 10th but I just love the app itself. It’s super fun for kids because there’s little monsters and sushi! I recommend it totally.”

“I remember playing this on my iPad when i was in elementary school, that was almost 6 years ago now, the nostalgia this gives is intense. thank you for making my school day amazing.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“There are only 7 levels for addition and 5 for multiplication and these are too simple. The only increase in difficulty is achieved by adding one or two zeros at the end of the target numbers.”

“I did notice some things that I found unfair, for example once I restarted a round and it immediately said can’t solve target with remaining numbers therefore it counted it wrong. And the second time was it said to make a number but I couldn’t make the number out of the numbers given and I found that kind of stupid.”

“I am a third grader going into forth and even the addition is hard but after level 4 of multiplication it freezes and takes up all the numbers so it’s pretty much impossible to beat all the levels! I also think you should be able to select a grade and only focus on grade level number sets fluently!”

“My kids love it, but the problem is they beat it in a week and there are no more levels. I think you should add subtraction and division and also add more levels to the existing ones. Also, you should add more trophies.”

“I just don’t think it’s good for a 9 year old. Too easy for a 2nd grader. They only have addition and multiplication. I tried it once and boom, less than 1 minute per level.”
