i love the word problems but everythings is for kids over grade 5 im in grade 5

I was disappointed in the product. It didn't seem to have as much to do with actual algebra as it proclaims. It is geared to a much younger group of children than 12-14 year olds.

My school has this computer game and I find it AWESOME.When we are told to play it, everyone goes "yes!". When you have trouble solving a problem, it shows you how to do it step by step, or you can use the built in calculator.You are a green charactor in a "spooky" mansion, where math awaits you in traps(complete the problem and get out of the trap) and in your missions. Yeah, it's cool.I am in 5th grade.

I enjoyed this game when I younger. If I remember correctly, "You need to pay to play". I'd get stuck on the wall thing. It's been a while since I've played it, but the haunted mantion, and it all was a fun math game. I've been a fan of Math Blaster since my 3.1 Windows days. Seems like three life times ago. Hope that they'll revive the series. I was a fan of math a long time before this, and it helped me enjoy it even more. Though, my current day math skills need improvement. Highly recommend searching out the Geometry one. It was great. May not work on Vista or Win 7 though.

Probably more disappointed in this product and especially Amazon. I should have known when the outside of the packaging trumpets that it supports Windows 3.1 and Windows 95! It wouldn't even install on my computer running XP. Of course instructions from Davidson had no 800# for service. I really should have read more reviews. I just didn't think that someone would ship me a software product at least 8 years old.
