I'm newbie to the Android environment and I'm trying to learn how to develop an educational game like mathlite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zok.android.numbers&hl=en[^] where the user just need to click on images. Do I need to use any gaming engine for this?

As I have understood, creating an educational game is not as advance as creating an actual mobile game?

I guess as long as your not going to use advanced animations or 3d rendering etc. you're probably fine without using any engine. Just start with your basic functionality. Add some background images etc.

Using an engine for the sake of using it will just bloat you application increasing size and loading time etc. I don't know if there are some small frameworks which would take some work from you but for a start I'd recommend to stick to the basics of Android programming until you're comfortable with the environment.

"creating an educational game is not as advance as creating an actual mobile game?"

Depends on whether you want it to sell.
You can make an educational game which is dull, boring and as much fun to use as a table of logarithms. And most people do, because they are selling it to the parent of the user.

But if you want to sell to the actual user, it's better to assume that he wants a game - and to be educated as a side effect.

Educational value is no substitute for quality - and it normally shows.
