My daughter seems to enjoy playing this game. 3rd grade math was a big challenge for her and this tool make practicing math concepts easy. Some levels needed adult help, but overall it was ok.

I have bought several Jumpstart games in my 18 years of being a parent. And overall, I would say the games reinforce educational concepts in a very fun way. However, I was listening to my daughter play the third grade game the other day and I was shocked at the language Polly was using. Every sentence she speaks is sarcastic and negative in tone. I know kids learn by what they hear, and the experiences they have. This game is going in the trash. I would not want my kids talking like Polly to anyone!!!!! Buyer Beware!!!

This is the best of the jump start series.
It is very creative and fun to play, even for parents.
Enjoy!

I loved this game when I was a kid. I played it so much that the disc was ruined, and now I'm considering buying a new one even though I'm 20 and a college math major :)

I got this for my 3rd grader to help him with his math facts, but the fact is, it takes forever to get into any activity of worth. The program talks and talks without letting you go to the activity you want until it's finished talking. I had to use the computer once while my child was using this, and it took a good 5 minutes to just exit the system. I've had other jumpstart programs that I've been pleased with, but this seems like a waste of time.

From what I've seen of this game(by the time you actually get "inside" the actual game, your almost wore out from waiting!!)it looks very educational. It has triple digit numbers to add, one part has like an art destination. It also has a musical lock that you have to get past--I'm sure there is more, I just didn't have any more time. My child just started 2nd grade and needed a challenge. If anyone knows how to get around the LONG START, I would appreciate the info. That's the only reason I gave this game only 4 stars. The graphics are pretty good for a kid's game.

My eight-year-old daughter loves this, and I'm impressed by the quantity and quality of the material. It's definitely worth the price and the time spent.

My granddaughter is in kindergarten and she says these are way too easy for her. She does enjoy them very much and is learning things from them.

What a great way to get my son ready for 3rd Grade! We have Kindergarten and 1st Grade and they all are really fantastic! Everything is educational and right on target with what they're learning or going to be learning in school! It's a great tool for over summer vacation, helps my son remember all he's learned the previous year as well as getting ready for the year to come. I plan on getting all Grades!!
