Nokia Apps : MathsBrain

This app is essentially a game, but it’s one designed to help improve your basic maths skills. The idea is that you solve the arithmetic problems you’re presented with as fast as possible.

When you first launch the app you can choose to either go into Practice or solve a Challenge. The app also enables you to view High scores as well as select different skill levels via the Options. There are three skill levels to choose from – Amateur, Skilled or Expert – and you can also select the number of problems to solve – 10, 20 or 30 – at a time.

Once the challenge stats, you need to complete the set number of puzzles – which come up as “6-1=” and so on – by tapping the answers into a numeric keypad displayed on the screen – stats at the bottom show how many you have wrong and right as well as how many challenges you have left to complete.


Sadly, the real problem was the unresponsiveness of the screen of our Nokia N97 mini and so we were left with a slightly sour taste. However, once you get over this, this is quite a cool little app and used regularly we reckon it would certainly improve brain dexterity.
