About Fruit Riddle
Every fruit hides a number, and lines of fruit math are the clues. If two pears make 8, one pear is 4, and your child carries that into the next line. It is a friendly first taste of algebra, with pictures instead of letters.
How to play
- Read the first line to find what one fruit is worth.
- Use what you found in the next line, then tap the answer.
- Number keys work too: 1 picks the first answer, 2 the second.
What your child practices
