About this app
Does your child need to learn times tables (2-12)?
Math Ascension is an educational math game for ages 7-12: kids practice mental math by playing, at a pace that adapts to their level—with clear, easy-to-track progress.

Our philosophy
We made Math Ascension to set an example for other video games; our game benefits children, has a definite end (when the child has mastered their multiplication tables), and does not push them to over-consume the game.
Also, so that you can try out the game yourself, we decided to make Math Ascension available for free. Most of the content can be accessed without having to pay for the full version.
Editor's Take
Math Ascension: Times Tables sits at 4.9 stars across 262 ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.
In our experience, ratings this high on a educational app usually mean the pacing respects your time, the difficulty curve doesn't stall, and the team keeps fixing issues people actually raise.
Pestorosso Games is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2026-01-05, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
