Product Description

One of the best ways to sharpen your basic maths skills is through repetition, and Professor Kageyama's Maths Training: The Hundred Cell Calculation Method gives you the opportunity to do maths exercises in a new, fun way! Renowned Japanese Professor Hideo Kageyama designed the Hundred Cell method to improve children's school performances. In his method, Professor Kageyama takes a 10-by-10 cell grid and places a single-digit number in front of each row and column. A person filling in the grid solves each cell by calculating the numbers listed at the start of the row and column. The key to the Hundred Cell method is to fill in each cell as fast as possible. The calculation itself may be simple, but the challenge comes in finishing faster each time you fill in a grid. It's this repetition that sharpens your maths skills! Like other mental fitness software in the Touch! Generations series, Professor Kageyama's Maths Training sports a daily training mode with recommended exercises. After training for five days, your level increases and along with it the difficulty level. In addition to the Hundred Cell calculations and daily training, Professor Kageyama's Maths Training features 40 additional exercises based on simple maths skills. After finishing an exercise, you're awarded a medal based on your performance. With the Hundred Cell method, you can refresh your basic maths skills for school or everyday life!

Customer Reviews

Love it but the motion sickness may win!
I bought this game today as maths is a weak point and I've really enjoyed the Brain Training games. This game is everything I expected it to be but after 10 minutes I'm suffering with bad motion sickness! The background is orange with little boxes that move horizontally from left to right on both screens and all the exercises have this behind so there is no escape!!

There are options to turn the annoying music and sound effects off but all you have to do to stop that is turn the volume down! You'd of thought they would have an option to stop the annoying background moving!

It's a shame because I may have to get rid of this game before my subconscious associates sickness with maths!!!

Conclusion: If you want basic maths training and don't suffer with motion sickness get it!

Compulsive!
This game is a fab way to waste a few hours. It soon got compulsive and I found that I didn't want to put it down. I only quit when the batteries were flat!
Highly recommended for those who, like me, are total math freaks.

Fantasic
I loved this game. My favorite thing about it is you are absolutely required to 'attend class' and take the tests for a certain amount of time before you advance a level. By that I mean you have to show up at least every day for (at least 4 days in a row) before you advance. There is an option to turn off the sound effects as well as the music. You can also play peer to peer. There is division, multiplication, subtraction and addition (at least only on lvl 1 there is)

If you have trouble with maths this game is for you.
