"Daren designs Math Doodles to provide a space where individuals can discover the joy, wonder, and fun of mathematics," as stated by The iPhone Mom. This sentiment is echoed by many, including Game Lab Mom who finds it beautiful, fun, and engaging.

The Math Doodles app introduces four challenges and a bonus preview challenge set to be released in a future update. Each challenge offers a blend of mathematical practice in a recreational math environment. Users are encouraged to play, explore, and experiment with mathematical concepts, enhancing their problem-solving and strategy skills. The challenges are designed to allow for multiple approaches and solutions, emphasizing that there is not a single correct answer.

THE CHALLENGES:

1. Sums Stackers: Users engage with three stacks of values assigned random target sums, encouraging them to move and rearrange the values until they match the target sums displayed at the bottom of the screen. With 22 different representation options, users can choose varying levels of abstraction suitable for different age groups.
2. Connect Sums: Users clear sets of values in a 4x4 array by selecting values that sum up to a target value. Offering 22 representation options and two difficulty levels, this challenge aids in developing number sense.
3. Unknown Square: This challenge introduces algebraic thinking through strategies to solve for unknowns within a 3x3 value grid, where horizontal, vertical, and diagonal sums are displayed.
4. Splat Go Round: Users explore rotations through math manipulation where they rotate a fly swatter to splat a target fly, selecting from various rotational modes such as clock hours, minutes, angles, and fractions.

Sneak Peek Challenge - Pattern Twist: Offers users a spatial visualization puzzle related to pattern recognition.

CHALLENGE MODES:

1. Solve Mode: Solve five random sets with the fewest moves strategically.
2. Infinity Mode: Play endlessly at your leisure.
3. Race Mode: Solve puzzles to accumulate points before time expires.
