 The Best of Addition/Subtraction Math Software Jan 12, 2004
By Barbara A. Staples
This is a GREAT program. The main screen allows 1 or 2 players, play against the clock, challenge another player, or practice one set at a time (0s, 1s, 2s, etc.). The second screen is a Magic Square (table)from 0 to 12 to help the student find the correct answer, and posts the math family group in upper right-hand corner that will repeat back the equation clicked on. It can be used to solve a problem on the main screen, or as an exercise in itself. It has rewards after each set is successfully completed, it keeps track of progress, and can adjust the difficulty of the problems. In a word, Fantastic! My kid loves it, too!

 Not much here Mar 25, 2010
By A. Dragovich
After reading the reviews, I was excited to purchase this CD for my 1st grader. It has been a big disappointment. I expected a variety of games and activities, but it's pretty much just one thing (addition or subtraction drills) in one format (the equation appears on the screen and the child types in the answer). No variation, except the "reward" after completing a series of problems might be a rocket ship one time and fireworks the next. You can get similar drills for free on the math-u-see website. Just go there - no need to spend money on this!
 Fun game Aug 29, 2011
By S. Cheatham
This product is just as described. We are pleased with the product graphics and lively comments. We do believe it will help reinforce our son's addition/subtraction facts. It would be MORE helpful however if we could set some kind of specifications to have only facts in the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc instead of levels, so that it is not so random and you can be sure they learn ALL the facts. Then later on when they have a grasp, it could be set as random.
GREAT product for kids Jan 11, 2010
By TRAD
LOVE this series of software. I am the home-school father of 9, and my teaching area is math and science.
These are entertaining and instructive for the children. They are also fun (if you haven't spoiled your kids with Gameboy or Xbox, etc.). I use School Zone flash cards and these programs as a core for repetitive learning in Math up to about 2nd grade.
So far all 3 of my older kids have tested 2 to 5 years ahead of their current age in math, and making math interesting fun was a big part of this. The younger ones are anxious to get rolling with this after seeing their older siblings playing it. The older ones even like to hang out and revisit the programs as 'Advisors' for the younger ones.
A good series of products. Highly recommend both Math and flash cards for math.

Delayed feedback Mar 12, 2010
By Laura Carter
"Mom"
I wanted to love this product, and it would have been perfect except for one big problem: there's no immediate feedback. My son can't tell whether he gets a problem right or wrong. All he gets is a brief flash of a total percentage correct at the end. I would rather have him do worksheets so that I can check them and help him fix the incorrect answers. It's too bad, because this is otherwise great - no distracting stories, characters or animations, just math problems on the computer.
