MathBird now does the job of Math Pop

We retired Math Pop today. MathBird is now the single maths game on epotli.

Why: the two games were doing nearly the same job. Tap-the-right-answer, four options, streak bonus, ~10 questions per round. Two games asking a child to choose between them, when one game with the right shape can do both jobs.

What MathBird does that Math Pop did not:

• The level persists between sessions. A child opens the game on day five and remembers what level they were on. That continuity is the long-term goal we wanted Math Pop to have but never quite gave it.
• The number ranges grow with the level. Class 1 children stay on small operands. Class 2 children stretch into bigger ones. The game sizes itself to where your child is on the curriculum, instead of asking the parent to pick Easy / Medium / Hard each time.
• Levelling up requires 60% accuracy on a session. Miss it and the level stays. The system never tells the child they failed; they just keep practising at the level they are at until the round goes well.

What we kept from Math Pop's design: the encouraging-coach voice, amber feedback on misses (never red), the streak bonus, and the rule that a wrong answer never ends the round.

If you had Math Pop bookmarked, the link now redirects to MathBird automatically. Nothing for you to do.
