We recently received quite a few downloads from Galaxy of Education. They shared Math Galaxy programs including: Whole Numbers Fun; Fractions Fun; Decimals, Proportions, % Fun; Word Problems Fun; Pre-Algebra Fun; Algebra Fundamentals; three corresponding Worksheet Generators, and two E-books for this review. Although I received these as a download, they are available for purchase on CD for $29.95 per game/program at their website http://www.mathgalaxy.com/.  The Math Galaxy Whole Numbers Riddles e-book and Fraction Riddles e-book (as a pdf download) are $14.95 each.  

     As your child works through the problems, they earn "labyrinth points" which they can use to play games. The creators of this program compare it to having your own personal tutor. They have something for kids K through 12th grade. Click on "guided tour" to see the comprehensive selection of math topics they can help your child with.

    My oldest daughter (12) found the Algebra Fun a little difficult (as we expected) but the Pre- Algebra Fun reinforced concepts that she is currently learning. She actually enjoyed the math program more than the games she earned. Heather said "I like the way it demonstrated the answer after I finished each problem."

     There is so much variety to these programs. If your child is struggling with a specific concept you will likely find it addressed.  Check out the free trials at their website: http://www.mathgalaxy.com/.
