1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely useless, September 4, 2006

By	Boos mom "angelandboo2" (Columbus, Ga USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this item to help my middle school child improve in algebra mainly. The math portion of this software is a joke. One the cover it boasts 'Over 2000 exercises!!!!' Unless you consider it an exercise for some cartoon to talk AT you I didn't see one.

The algebra section is a joke!! It skips from equations to linear graphing functions and when you attempt to see if there is anything more offered, your instructed to buy yet another possibly useless set of software.

You cannot learn math without DOING IT!! Someone can talk all day but without actually having activities or exercises there is no way to learn it.

I actually went to the Topics entertainment site to express my disdain and GUESS What? There's is no way to submit an email to the company to voice either satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the company's product. Of course a company with its ear to the ground in eager anticipation of meeting its clients needs would have no way to contact them.

Save your money, tune in to Barney, its just as effective for teaching Algebra.

3.0 out of 5 stars BE READY TO INVEST TIME, August 8, 2007

By	L. Ware - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This educational software will be helpful to any child's knowledge, BUT be ready to invest time into "dowloading" software patches from the Topics Entertainment website.
I guess there were some software difficiencies in the CDs, so you have to invest some time into fixing these deficiencies. Its pretty easy, but don't expect to download the software into your computer and be able to run all the programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, October 1, 2006

A Kid's Review

I worked on this product, I voice the character of "madison". Any company that is willing wo work with new, young talent gets an A+ in my book. And, while we were reading the scripts, a lot of teh math that I was teaching, i didn't actually understand, since it was a cold read. The writing was so good that even without having heard the terms before or having the benefit of the visuals that come with the program, i learned the math. in fact, one of the concepts was introduced in my math class about a month later, and I already understood it all and eventually aced the test, just from two hours of work on that particular lesson.
