This is the screen I saw most often:
This is because my youngest two enjoyed this game the most. Marcee had this to say about the Bridge the Swamp section: "I liked the Bridge the Swamp game because it was something to where if I messed up by pressing a different button than what I meant, I still got points. I also liked the riddles because they were fun to decode and always had a funny answer. I also liked the Labyrinth because it was fun to move around and I like winning."
You do the activities in the instructional areas and earn robots. Then you go to the games section to play until all of your robots are dead and you have to earn more robots by going back to the instructional areas and doing more problems. I think it was fun. I just need to stay on the kids and make sure they do the more difficult problems since this is an EDUCATIONAL game and they should be reinforcing their math skills.
One thing that I didn't like about these programs is that my kids would do the same activity or section over and over again, without moving forward to the harder topics. If the program had a way of blocking out a section when it was mastered so they would have to work on something else, I would like it better. The graphics are kinda busy and some of the games remind me of "old school" type programs. They could elaborate a bit more on the directions too. For instance, when typing in an answer, you need to hit enter afterwards but it only says to type in the answer. On a positive note, if you get the wrong answer twice, it gives you a very good explanation with the correct answer. I think we'll be using these programs for the duration of our homeschool years.
