2.0 out of 5 stars I don't like it..., June 18, 2008

By	R. Taylor "raytayz" (louisville, ky USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...basically a collection of games to make learning math fundamentals more entertaining and engaging...and though creative and entertaining the games are basically all competitive...I don't like that at all...kids behind the curve find themselves to be "losers" -- a not very entertaining prospect and hardly a good way to inspire effort...I also suspect "losers" could find themselves the butt of jokes -- facilitating learning is not worth the risk of damaging self-esteem...I allowed it an extra star because in the right circumstances -- e.g. a gifted math class where competition might be enjoyable -- the is a worthy resource.
