Customer Reviews

Not fun and I'm still not sure what age it is aimed at, not infants that's for sure!
As there was not much information about this 'game' I was a bit wary as to what it would be like - justifiably so it seems. I had my 6 year old son in mind when I bought it but frankly it does not make the maths fun enough to engage his attention and the maths is too difficult for him.

The game does not make it clear what age it is targeted at, but in the numerous pages of introduction that come up before you can get into the game, it states 'children should gain the ability to make basic calculations at home before reaching school age', which suggests this should be ideal for my 6 year old.

In the method study section it teaches how to do 2-digit addition and questions are to be answered against the clock - it left my son feeling incompetent and frustrated as he could only answer a couple in the time allowed.
So he moved on to try the daily drills section and had a go at the novice course of the skill exam, the first question comes up '99 x 33', followed by '95 x 77'. No space for doing any working out, just boxes in which to enter the answer!

At which point he switched it off...can't blame him.
