Review

Three simple activities drill typical math problems found in grades 1-5. Galactic Pinball lets children select answers to problems by maneuvering a ball through a moving maze. Digihog Drop lets them create math equations, while Asteroid Smash lets kids shoot correct answers out of the sky. The games are fairly fun, but the asteroids equation is the best of the three for promoting speed as well as accuracy. The software keeps records of progress (children sign in) and can be played in English or Spanish. Parents can add custom problems to the games and can print out customized worksheets. Content covers six levels of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals and percentages. The bottom line? This program succeeds in delivering fast-paced, on target practice.. .and it's a lot more fun than flash cards.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
