Because I am not a teacher, but I'm interested in doing everything I can to constantly help my 6-year-old son learn some simple math skills, I am always looking for little ways to trick some learning into him.

Also, I'm one of those "crazy" parents who is sort of against video games -- I mean, he's only six, he doesn't need to sit in front of the tv for hours. However, I do like the Leapster games. It satisfies his need to play video games like some of his friends, but the cartridges are reliably G-rated and they always teach something.

Cosmic Math is very much like the old Asteroids game we had when I was young. You're given an equation, like "2+6=" and then your ship is surrounded by asteroids that circle the ship getting closer and closer. Each asteroid contains a number and only one contains the correct answer. Try to destroy it before the asteroids destroy the ship. So it drills my son on simple math problems, helping him to learn to figure them out faster. There are different levels with subtraction, multiplication and I think division (we're not there yet). He likes to travel with it and play it for a little while on rainy days -- that kind of thing. It's a great little toy and a good game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math Rocks!, March 26, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Leapster Arcade: Cosmic Math (Toy)

Cosmic Math is a great cartridge to add to your Leapster Library. Cosmic Math has Level one which is addition. Level Two is subtraction. Level Three is multiplication. Level Four is division. I love handheld video games and I love to learn new math facts (sometimes it just gets a little boring). So, this cartridge is perfect for me. This cartridge is only for Leapster Multimedia Learning Systems and it does not work on other handheld video games. Are you are a Leapster Owner who loves to blast rocks to learn new math facts? If you are this Leapster Cartridge is for you!

My son loves this game. He is 6 years old and is learning multiplication thru this game. This is well worth the money.
