 good challenge software January 2, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
We have Disney kindergarten and jumpstart kintergardern and found it is too easy for my 33 months old very advanced boy. This one seems just right. Some activities he can easily complete by himself like the geometry and animal sorting. Some activity he has to think, like times and money and some activities he really need my help. I thought this just perfect. Give him challenge without total frustration

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter, whose weakest subject is math. She LOVES this game and will literally play it for hours. It consists of all kinds of different math games that you can play at three different levels of difficulty. I am just VERY pleased with this game. Suddenly math is FUN for my daughter!
 Really Educational and Really Fun October 9, 2005

My six-year-old daughter, who just started first grade, was completely engaged playing this game. It has a nice layout to explore, lots of activities, and it adapts to a range of skill levels. It was challenging enough to be interesting but not too hard to "win" and save the day for the city. I would give it five stars if only the arcade games were playable -- they were much too hard for my daughter. But she didn't seem to mind, since she really enjoyed everything else.
 It's Just "Okay" February 28, 2005

There are not many good options in software for children, so that this at least rates as okay is something. It is educational for sure and definitely teaches math and grouping of sets for faster counting, money values, etc. But it could be more appealing for a 5-year old boy.
Other options to consider are the clue-finding, problem solving computer games of Myst (my son loves working on these with mom and dad); and the Leapster computer with K-1 cartridge. The Leapster is similar in that you must go around and complete educational tasks and earn tokens for doing the fun stuff. And the fun stuff is fun and rewarding. Yet the fun reward stuff in Math Missions is only 3 arcade style games that are not that special or interesting. Also, they are timed and go so fast that a 5-year old who isn't used to video games has a lot of difficulty. My son enjoys the math educational portion way more than the fun stuff so that the reward is not very enticing.
