I am a tutor. It would have been much more usable if I had printed instructions on each game, the goals, the concepts being taught and the levels of diffculty. Some of this information is on the disk, but you have to open each game and figure out what it is teaching, and how the game is played.
My 6 year old loves this game and would play it for hours if we let her. It's a fun quest-type game which teaches a variety of math skills. Great game.
Tried several programs and this is her favorite. it is an old program, but math hasn't changed much. Worked on XP (hate vista) without a hitch, but maybe i got lucky. wish they had made some follow on products. Much better than drills.
OK so it just dies on Vista and even with Win 7 (great OS btw)Lucky I have a top notch machine still running XP so was able to try it out.First off it was poorly planned, the problems are far far far to easy and bored my 7 year old within 4 seconds, which happens to be about how long it takes to see anything happen.THere are much better free sites to use then this very dated old hack.Normally I dont slate a product but this is real junk wrapped up in a dvd.
This software does not work on my Mac (OS X 10.5) or my PC (Windows XP). Very, very disappointed. Not as advertised.
