this game is good for kids who need help with:

Flexibility

Any time players have to answer a series of questions, they activate the flexibility thinking skill. In Ogre Academy Math, players must adapt to the variety of numbers and functions as each new question gets introduced. Sometimes, switching from addition to division can cause players to pause or hesitate, then hastily give an incorrect answer. Players have to look closely at the questions, and adjust their mental math strategies to meet the task at hand. In addition, when they inevitable get an answer wrong, players have to rebound quickly to keep the ogres from getting under the bed. That means providing a correct solution to the next question. Players have to work to avoid compounding their mistakes. They are forced to learn from the mistakes that led them to a wrong answer very quickly in order to prevent ogres from invading the avatar's bedroom.

Working Memory

There are many different tricks players can use to solve problem more efficiently and accurately. Instead of counting on fingers or using a pen and pad, player should utilize applicable strategies to make problem solving more fun. Especially with multiplication, shortcuts are very helpful -- and they are usually taught in the classroom. Players must recall these strategies like rounding numbers to make them easier to compute mentally, then adding or subtracting the difference from the rounded product. Some questions are repeated in Ogre Academy Math, making it essential for players to not only learn from their mistakes, but correct the thought patterns that led them to wrong answers. With Ogre Academy Math, it's all about using prior knowledge to maximize efficiency and learning how to avoid repetitive incorrect answers.
