Community reviews for Ice Math Ninjas: ZERO

Overall I would recommend this app. It offers games on addition, prime numbers, odd and even numbers, etc. It also helps that there are varying levels of difficulty. This app can reach out to all students no matter what ability level and pace. I also like that it's free and if you are interested in it you can can upgrade for a small fee. Overall it's a great math tool!

Lots of children play Fruit Ninja and LOVE it. Expected Ice Math Ninja to piggy-back off the same concept and possibly contributed towards increased student motivation for learning math. Only evaluated the FREE version but screen shots of $2.99 version are very similar, so the price difference probably allows access to more games. Although Ice Math Ninja says Grades 2-6, the first game Sub-Zero Mines could be used with Kindergarten students - it just reinforces identifying number 1 through 9. Polar Pairs could be used with 1st graders - it reinforces identifying even or odd numbers. Antarctic Add reinforces single digit pairs of numbers. Although all games had Easy, Medium, and Hard levels - the only thing that increased was the speed in which students can "slice" answers and gain points. There was no way to add students names or obtain tracking; however, students receive feedback -- but are probably too busy "slicing" numbers to pay attention. A creative teacher could probably use it to motivate struggling students to practice very elementary math concepts because of its arcade interface; however, based upon the FREE version - Ice Math Ninja hold little potential for addressing Math Common Core Standards and/or supplementing math concepts taught in the classroom.
