Community reviews for Math Vs Zombies - Math Games Grade K - 5

This resource is designed for student practice. It is not designed to enhance mathematical understanding. The resource includes a detailed Report Card section where the teacher can monitor one student's practice. However, if students need to share a device, report cards are only available for a few students and you need to reset to start the leveling again for a new student. If you want a simple practice program that grabs kids' attention, this might be it.

Overall, my students enjoy the app and the characters developed in the game. I think that the beginning levels of each operation, when the numbers are single digits, are best to reinforce basic math facts. My students gain confidence when they beat those levels, but quickly lose that confidence in the medium levels due to the challenge of larger numbers and the short time limit to solve them. I agree with Andrew L. in his field note (/app/math-vs-zombies-math-games-grade-k-5-teacher-review/3950486) that this app could have so much more potential through game play variance and by allowing students to create their own character to zap the zombies back to humans.
