First in Math is the 'vegetables' of your kid's digital diet. It’s not as flashy as the big-budget 'edutainment' titles, but it’s far more effective at its one specific job: making kids fast at mental math. If your child is struggling with fluency or still counting on their fingers, this is a top-tier tool.

That said, it's a school-first product. If your kid's school doesn't provide a login, getting individual access is a hurdle. It’s also unapologetically a drill platform. There’s no plot, no character development, and no open world—just numbers and a clock. For some kids, that's a refreshing challenge; for others, it’s a chore.
