My 8 year old daughter had struggled with math since first grade. She loves the practices and challenges of the Olympic games and she especially loves winning the medals. My husband loaded the game and she was able to take it from there with no assistance. She is having fun and learning her math basics. The game is well worth the money.

If your child knows all the rules of addition, substraction and the multiplation table, but he/she is just slow; this software can be helpful. This software can create a random set of exercises at various difficulty level and challenge the child to do as much as he/she can in one minute. Pratice makes perfect. It works.

If your child has not played any educational software games in the past, she or he might be content with this product. However, if your child needs visual stimulation as well as a lot of fun interaction, this game is seriously lacking in both areas. While some of the graphics and sounds are a slight-bit entertaining, they lose their attraction quickly. Math problems can be presented in a far more engaging setting. For example, Scholastic's Math Missions, although not in 3D graphics, is much better; placing math in context of story lines keeps the child engaged for hours.
