5.0 out of 5 stars Motivates math understanding, February 2, 2006
By pnoyce2 (Weston, MA) - See all my reviews
The computer game version of The Number Devil closely follows the book, as kids progress through sections on prime numbers, the Fibonacci series, Pascal's triangle, and an infinite series approaching one. Nine of the ten games worked well for us, but nobody in the family was ever able to complete the tenth, the arrow game. We understood the math, but couldn't react quickly enough to shoot down all the arrows. This was disappointing, because we could never reach the bonus section. All in all, though, this is a good investment for a child, 8 or up, who loves or wants to understand the mystery of numbers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math is easy now, August 24, 2004
This is even better than the book and really helped my son, age 9 understand math relationships. With all the "new" math around, it's a great tool to help kids understand why rather than method when it comes to getting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative, January 10, 2007
By Fluffy Mom (New York City) - See all my reviews
This is a game based on the story of the same name. It is a well designed game for kids that are highly intelligent. The ideas introduced in the storyline make understanding even greater math concepts simple. But keep in mind, this is not a math blaster style game, this is for bright kids that have already gone past that
