Math Blaster

This fast-action, futuristic game builds confidence, accuracy and speed in basic math skills. When the CD-ROM is inserted, children are sent on a mission to save the universe from robots that are controlling the galaxy. Practicing skills from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division children work on fact families, problem solving, equivalents and mental math. The game is so intertwined with math, that the flow of the game essentially helps children inprove mental math skills. Playing the game makes math cool for children because it helps them win the game. The skills that are fostered in the game are based on real-life skills that children will need, which gives them the opportunity to, in a little-to-no-risk situation practice and perfect the skills. The combination of visual, auditory and kinesthetic feedback during the learning experience allows children to grasp the concepts in ways that match their own learning preferences.
