iPhone app Bubbly Primes - Factoring Game

Working on fractions? Try a factoring game.

This seemingly simple arcade-style game features hand-drawn animated characters, classical music, a soothing underwater world, and a critically important educational mission.
Its a real game, not a thinly disguised quiz or flash cards.
It creates a powerful metaphor between how the bubbles behave, and how numbers work.

Originally intended as a simple, healthy, math game for kids, clever Bubbly Primes players have repurposed it as:

- A classroom activity.

- A family quality-time game.

- A brain training exercise for adults.

Bubbly Primes is a non-violent game, with no ads, and no in-app purchases.

Once installed, it also doesnt require internet access its an offline game.

- A really fun game that teaches kids about prime numbers and factoring, - The Parenting Beyond Discipline podcast.

It really only takes a few seconds to figure out the basic game.

- Tap Start to begin.

- Tap bubbles that contain composite numbers (numbers you can factor).

- As bubbles pop apart your score goes up.

- Keep popping them until theyre broken down to prime numbers.

- As prime numbers get to the top, they raise your score.

- Avoid tapping prime number bubbles.
If you do, theyll darken and fall to the bottom, lowering your score.

- As your score rises, playful critters appear.

- You can tap critters to change what they do.

- You can tap the water to make waves that move bubbles or critters.

- When a non-prime composite number gets to the top, it turns reddish and its too late to factor it.

- You can get rid of escaped bubbles by successfully factoring a rising bubble with the same number.

- Each time you achieve a new level, all escaped bubbles will go away, and you will get points for bubbles in the water.

- When five composites escape to the top, the round ends.

- If your score is one of the five highest, you can enter your name, and choose a critter for its symbol.
