Random Apps: Elementary Math Apps

Random has asked for some math apps, since he has seen his sister enjoying MathSmart: First Grade recently. He wanted something like it only at his level. They don't have a MathSmart for fifth grade so I started looking for some math apps he would like. Here are some that I have found to be appropriate for Random. All apps are the usual .99 to $4.99 unless otherwise noted.
