Pixels Maths: a math coloring game that colors by calculation
Pixels Maths is a pixel art math coloring game for Android: each grey zone of a drawing hides a calculation, and a correct answer colors it in. Over 60 drawings cover Grade 4 (CM1) to Grade 9 (3ème).

A math coloring game that checks the answers
Many teachers and parents already use coloring-by-numbers pages as a reward after a worksheet. Pixels Maths takes the same idea and puts the calculation inside the picture. The student cannot finish the drawing without solving the problems, and a short correction appears after a mistake.
It fits a weekly routine as a lighter session between two written worksheets.
How it works
- Choose a pixel art drawing and a level.
- Tap a grey zone: a calculation appears in large type.
- Answer a multiple-choice question or type the answer.
- A right answer colors the zone; a mistake shows a short correction and a new calculation.
- Finish the drawing and add it to the gallery.
Topics by level
- Grades 4 and 5 (CM1, CM2): multiplication tables, addition, subtraction, mental math, decimals and conversions
- Grade 6 (6ème): order of operations, fractions, percentages, decimals
- Grade 7 (5ème): signed numbers, algebraic expressions, proportionality
- Grade 8 (4ème): powers, equations, the Pythagorean theorem
- Grade 9 (3ème): equations, scientific notation, percentages and brevet revision
More features
14 types of calculation
Besides the topics above, the game includes unit conversions and proportionality, so one drawing can mix several skills.
Drawings and gallery
More than 60 drawings cover animals, space, nature, sweets, sport and vehicles. Finished pictures are saved in a gallery and can be shared as an image or as an animated GIF that replays the coloring.
Motivation
- Points for each correct answer and a bonus for fast answers
- A daily streak and an optional daily reminder
- Badges and grades from Apprentice to Master
Using it with worksheets
Choose the level that matches the current worksheet and let the student color one drawing after finishing the page. Because the game works offline, it is easy to bring on a trip.
Language and platform
The game is in French and English, has no ads and saves progress across devices. It runs on Android phones and tablets, and an iPhone version is in preparation.
When to use it
- As a reward after a long worksheet
- As a quiet activity during a trip or a waiting room
- As a revision tool the week before a test, choosing the topic of the test
- As a station activity in a classroom with tablets
Teachers can ask students to pick the same level and compare how many mistakes they made on each type of calculation. Parents can use the daily reminder to build a habit without nagging, and the gallery gives children a visible record of what they accomplished.
