Teaching Tools:  

This program has animated games with sound and progress monitors. It has a calculator incorporated into several of the games, which is quite helpful. However, we found the lower level on the money game confusing, since it would give you the price of an item and your budget, but would not relate the "change" or the difference, if you spent less than your budget. Whereas the more advanced level would require students to calculate the change and this made more sense than the beginner level where we were wondering where the change went.

Topics Covered:  

This math program relates the subjects of multiplication, division, number line concepts, 3D solids and their properties and money transactions.

Ease of Install/Use:  

Although this one disc game runs pretty slow, it installs fairly quickly and is easy to use.
