#GamingBytes: Teach basic mathematics using these games
What's the story
Mathematics is something which several school students fear.
However, it is mainly because the subject is taught in a boring way in most schools.
The best way to make kids better at mathematics is to get them interested in it. An excellent and fun way to do this is through games.
Here are five games which teach basic mathematics.
Math vs Zombies
Brainy versus the brainless
Everyone knows that killing zombies can be fun.
Maths vs Zombies uses this to make mathematics interesting.
Players have to solve equations to kill zombies. The mathematical operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
This game is best suited for kids.
Kids can challenge themselves and try to unlock all 9 levels of the game.

Zapzapmath
Bring the math curriculum to an app
Zapzapmath is one of the finest games for kids from 5 to 12.
The app allows parents and teachers to track the kid's progress and critical thinking.
It covers a wide range of mathematical operations. Apart from the basic functions, kids can also learn geometry, ratios, and fractions.
A well-structured math app, this will ensure that kids spend the screen-time to learn new things.
Geometry Pad
Geometry is fun and easy
Geometry is tedious and students often shy away from using the compass and protractor to construct accurate figures.
However, with Geometry Pad, it all becomes easy. With a more immersive experience, teachers can use this app as an effective learning tool in class.
Users can not only construct various figures but also calculate the area and perimeters.
It is best suited for middle-school students.
Math with Friends
Math can be a social thing to do
Math with your Friends is like words with friends but with numbers.
Kids can play with friends or against a random opponent. The players are assigned numbers from 0 to 9. They have to basic mathematical operators.
The basic premise is that players make mathematical equations to score points.
Further, they can use the multipliers on the board.

Gizmos
Clear your mathematical concepts in this fun way
ExploreLearning Gizmos is an app that can be used from grades 3 to 12.
Users can simulate situations, control and tweak variables. This helps them to test hypotheses and engage in 'what-if' conditions.
As a result, it helps them clarify and develop a solid understanding of mathematical concepts.
It is available only on iOS, which is the only drawback of this wonderful app.
