There definitely aren't enough good educational games in the Nokia Store. My hopes weren't high when I spotted that Math Fun Premium is essentially a Flash application, but I was impressed by its operation and fluidity even on an old Nokia E7. This little app is perfect for helping 6 to 8 year olds with their basic numeracy (perhaps on a journey or while waiting at the doctor's, or similar. Oddly, the developer also throws in teaching the signs of the Zodiac - hmmmm.....

For a Flash game/app, Math Fun Premium is surprisingly comprehensive - the 'flashcards' section is just asking sub-6-year olds to count (stars) up to 10 and isn't that remarkable, so I've concentrated on the main body of the app, the slightly harder maths, here

Here's Math Fun Premium (which comes up on the phone as 'AstroMath', oddly) in action:

The introductory text, and (right) practising multiplication - the wizard shrugs if you get it wrong and rewards you with a wreath if you get it right. Swipe down, as the prompt says, or tap on 'Next' to proceed and keep going....

There's a mix of mental arithmetic (times tables) and calculator skills being taught here, since the 'hint' system brings up a virtual calculator, where the child can tap in the sum directly. Nicely done...

In both practice and 'quiz' areas, you can pick from the various types of maths calculation in 'Options'...

The slightly out-of-place star sign flash cards. I guess they're here because the developer's keen on them?(!) (right) Setting up a 'quiz', specifying the number of questions, their type and complexity...

Taking the quiz, your child's score is recorded and 'trophies' are awarded if they get everything right - great presentation and glossy rewards for your child to show you, too.

A credit to the Flash game genre, Math Fun Premium shows what can be done and is well worth the £1.50 here in the Nokia Store if you have under-8s who need a little numeracy testing now and then.
