Google play is full of crap apps, this is why I'm looking for recomendations
DragonBox helps children learn algebra using a very novel technique. It comes in 2 versions: a 5+ and a 12+ version.
I've only bought the 5+ version, not the 12+ version, so can't comment on the latter. But the 5+ version definitely helps you learn basic algebra concepts by pattern-matching, and I've found it to be a very cool concept. (You may not get far enough within the 15-minute trial window to get the concept, though, so be prepared to actually have to pay first.)
It's been a while since I've played the game (I stopped playing when I finished the game all the way through), so I don't know if the current version has ads or in-app purchases. But certainly, when I played it, it had neither of those antifeatures.
I can propose following:
I played this game on a 10" tablet with Android 4.1 and it looked very good (based on screenshots it is possible to run it also on mobile phones). This is an open source (GPL3+) project and the game is available for free, without adverts and no special permissions are needed. I have seen a two-year-old kid playing this game as well as an adult (me) training his memory. The tiles are adjusted to kids' perception and there are in game sounds which can attract the game even more.
Unfortunately the newest version was released over a year ago (December 2012), but game is fully functional although there could be more features added (like customizable board size).
Update. More detailed information about Memory Game For Kids regarding to the answer guide.
