3 Stars Good for Math Fact Practice But Limited
My 8 yr. old son received this before leaving on a long car trip just a few days ago. So far he loves it. I thought it would a great way for him to review math facts over the summer so they’re not forgotten. It looks like it will be good for that use if not played too often. Although he enjoys it, I was disappointed that there is only one game on the cartridge and there is no incentive to answer the questions quickly, which is what I was hoping for since so many schools require timed testing of math facts. Also there is no correction or assistance if the answer is incorrect, so kids can just keep on guessing with no thought to the correct answer. Also, each level is simply a different type of math function, but within each level there is no easy, medium or hard option. It’s just random facts, which I was a bit disappointed with as well. I have a feeling he will be bored from it quickly. If only a few more game variations were offered on the cartridge along with more difficulty levels, it could have been great one. But I would still recommend it for basic fact practice.
3 Stars it’s just ok
I got this for my 7 year old 2nd grader as a fun way to practice math facts (she hates flash cards). She and her 9 year old 4th grade sister agree that it’s fun, but it moves too slowly to really be engaging for very long. There is only one activity on it, and it is very much like another title “Number Raiders” that they have. They don’t play with either very much, and when they do they don’t play for very long (20 minutes, maybe?). So in the end not very many math facts get learned or practiced, although as a game it’s good for a bit of fun occasionally. Might be good on a trip or a rainy day to occupy some time.

4 Stars great game
I purchased this game for my then 4.5yo and 6 yo last December. Both find it easy to operate but the math still makes them think.
