83/100

Go To Ten is a brilliant educational tool masquerading as a simple card game. Based on the RightStart Math program, it focuses on the most fundamental skill in early arithmetic: 'making tens.' It’s essentially a mathematical version of 'Go Fish,' and it’s remarkably effective at moving kids away from counting on their fingers to recognizing number pairs instinctively.

The app is minimalist—some might even say 'boring' visually—but its lack of distracting animations and loud noises is actually a benefit for learning. It forces the child to focus on the numbers. I’ve seen kids who usually hate flashcards get genuinely excited about finding pairs in 'the dump.' It’s a specialized tool, but for parents and teachers using the RightStart curriculum, it’s an indispensable way to squeeze in math practice during a commute or a quiet moment.

This is a favorite RightStart™ Math game, loved by children all around the world!

The object of the game is to match two cards that equal 10. There are 29 pairs of cards using numbers 1 to 9 and three levels of difficulty.

The game starts with five cards on the bottom row. The player checks for two cards that total 10. If a pair is found, tap on the first card, then tap on the second card. If it is a successful match, the pair will go to the winning pile. If it is not a match, the cards will turn red and shake.

If no pairs are found in the bottom row, ask for a card by tapping for one at the top of the screen. The card will either appear below or "Go to the Dump!" will appear and the "dump" cards will be highlighted. Tap on the card stack and a random card will appear. Check for a matched pair and select them if possible. If no pairs are available, ask for another card.

If no cards remain below, and the 29 pairs have not all been found, "Take more cards!" will pop up. Tap on the card stack and five more cards will appear. Play continues until all pairs have been matched.
