Math Missions is an okay investment. It doesn’t do what I needed it to do which is basic addition. The easy levels are too easy and the next level jumps to 3 digit addition. Where is the kindergarten and 1st grade addition and subtraction problems? The way it is set up is not straightfroward…I can’t believe this is the best they can do these days.
Another problem is that you have to complete things in each area/shop/etc before you can “go to the arcade”. The problem is it doesn’t say how many time or how much you need to do in each part, so a child can’t figure out exactly what needs to be done.
There is no way a K or 1st grader can navigate alone. My daughter is pretty computer savy and she kept asking for help.
However, It is better than a regular video game. I have yet to find a game that has basic addition subtraction that is not boring.
My five- and six-year-old children love all the games and activities in “Math Missions” and, I have to say, I do too. There are so many learning opportunities available in “Math Mission” that children of all ages should be able to learn something at some point.
Activities include sorting, counting, number identification, setting clock times, measuring ingredients to make smoothies, logical comparisons and more.
Works speedily on XP, but the CD must be in the drive in order to play.
If you’re going to plunk down the cash for one piece of educational software for young children, your money will be well spent on “Math Missions.” Highly recommended.
Luckily I have an old computer running XP and that is where this program now lives. It would have been nice to have it on the Vista computer too but it wanted me to change the monitor settings and I am unwilling to do so. My kids are really enjoying this game and learning a lot.
Bought this for our kindergartener who needed some practice with numbers. It has been fun for her to play and doesn’t feel like homework. The activities seem well suited to differing levels of skill. Overall a good way to practice math skills.
bought it for my kids, they love to play this math game. Seem a bit easy for him. product ship as promised.
