Figure Street

Figure Street turns math word problems into a game kids want to play. Your child runs a street of small shops, and every customer’s order is a word problem for grades 2 and 3.

HOW IT WORKS
• A customer walks up with an order. Your child reads it, or taps to hear it read aloud.
• They set out the numbers in a picture of the problem: a bar model for putting together, changing, comparing and equal groups.
• They type the answer on a number pad. There is no multiple choice.
• A wrong answer costs nothing. The customer gives a hint, then another, until the order is solved.

WHY IT WORKS
Figure Street teaches the way research says works best: spot the kind of problem, draw it, then solve it. The problems follow research-based problem types (Cognitively Guided Instruction; National Research Council 2009), get harder in small steps, and come back now and then so skills stick.

A STREET THAT GROWS
Coins from customers buy decor and outfits. New levels open new shops. Shops make stock overnight, ready to collect. Nothing is ever lost, stolen or taken away.

MADE FOR KIDS, TRUSTED BY GROWN-UPS
• Works offline. No ads, no accounts, no chat.
• No coins for sale, no loot boxes, no streaks.
• Shop days end on their own after 15 minutes (you can change it).
• A skill report for grown-ups shows how each kind of problem is going and whether it is remembered weeks later.
• Purchases and settings sit behind a question only a grown-up can answer.

FREE TO TRY
The first level and the first two shops are free. One purchase unlocks two more levels, Clerk and Shopkeeper, and two more shops to build. No subscription.
