| Ideally suited for students ages six - 12, the teacher-developed and tested Math Blaster software supports educational objectives by way of a creative, imaginary universe that must be saved. Using intuitive math games incorporating addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fact families and equivalents students receive -- at their own pace -- instruction through thousands of challenging practice problems in order to master everyday math skills, increase problem-solving and mental math abilities as well as boost math confidence. |

 Written on October 19, 2007 Summary: Engaging and fun My granddaughter is struggling with some aspects of division and multiplication. It took her a little bit to get the hang of the game but once she caught on she loves it. We use it as a reward for her accomplishing homework, chores, etc., and she can't wait to play it!! If her enjoyment of the game translates into learning the concepts she has to use to advance levels, this will be a winner. Written on September 20, 2007 Summary: Good Mix of Math and Games My 8-year old son loves playing this Math Blaster and the repetition of times tables and divisions helps him learn. For my taste there is a lot of simple game playing relative to calculating, so if you are looking for a game-based version of Kumon, this is not it. But for reinforcing math skills your child is acquiring the old-fashioned way, in a game environment boys love, Math Blaster is fine.  Written on September 7, 2007 Summary: Not enough Math - - too much game I bought this thinking it was an updated version of a Mathblaster computer game my older kids had years ago. It was a good review tool and they liked it. But this new Mathblaster is nothing like the old one. It is trying so hard to appeal to modern kids who play video games that there is too much gaming with very little math thrown in. I'm not happy with it at all since it's not really reviewing much math. My 9yo son sort of likes it because it's basically just another video game. But he doesn't really play it that much.  Written on September 3, 2007 Summary: My 2nd grader loves it - great math practice! I'm not sure why the others are complaining - my second grader likes playing it, and it's a great way to practice math and build speed while having fun. Especially since in his school they have timed tests that force them to be fast or lose points - this is a great way to build that speed up to the automatic level. I think this is way better than boring flash cards and can see my son's addition and subtraction speeds improving almost immediately. The music and challenge level are really no different than many other video games out there, however this game helps improve math skills. It's a no brainer in my book. Written on July 20, 2007 Summary: Just above average! All in all not a bad game. My daughter is 6 years old and she loves the Math Blaster at school...which is an older version. I have XP and this was the newest version so I bought it. There is no support for a gamepad or joystick...only keyboard supported which has my daughter not playing it much, so if your child does not like the keyboard do NOT buy this game!! |
