Cost: Free
Pros: The game is addictive and can be very fun for students trying to learn math facts under pressure. The app does have addition, subtraction, division and Multiplication. It's very easy to change the difficulty as well for the equations.
Cons: The main con I see to it is that it could become to exhilarating for younger students. The game makes you work under pressure because the zombies are coming at you, and then the boss battles, you have to go even faster to win. This could overwhelm students who are just looking for a little bit of fun while learning.
How I would use this in education: I would personally use it for time when they would be able to do their own thing after a test. I would also really like to use this as a class activity. For instance, put it up on a smart board and play as a class; Have them call out the answers quickly.
