The program's difficulty levels and multi-sensory design are intended to fit a student's needs, increasing his or her motivation to learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Math Rock really rocks!, August 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Schoolhouse Rock: Math Rock! (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This is a fun math game based on the popular show Schoolhouse Rock - it is a great way to get kids to practice math skills as they navigate "Funky Numberland." Although the sound may be annoying at times, it is a fun game for kids (grades 1-5). The software is easy to navigate and has tons of cool graphics/animations. It has different levels for kids to play and makes them collect coins for later use or as they play the "Road to Fame" game. It has a great teacher or parent support documents (allowing them to check and print out a child's or a class' progress, or simply track what has been done) and help is easy to find (by clicking the big question mark). It's a useful tool for encouraging a child to like math.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought, Buy the video instead, November 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Schoolhouse Rock: Math Rock! (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This was a very dissapointing purchase. I think maybe the targeted age should be increased to 8-10 years old. It is mostly multiplication and geometry. And there is an awful board game, where it takes away the very rewards that you won.(I understand that subtraction is part of math, but I think they could have did it another way without it seeming like a punishment.) It just was not fun for my child, everything seemed too much like work.The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because of the ability to acess the school house rock music videos and the pool game was okay too. But just okay.

Well, I played this game as a kid. I was the kid that played this game when my dad bought it for me years ago. I still remember most of the games because it was so fun. I remember most of the game. Speaking for the actual child here, this game is awesome and please ignore the parents speaking for the kids who played this game.
