Gold Medal Math

Great product for your children. As they solve problems correctly they will move onto the next level. The program is similar to the Montessori Program, which encourages your child's self-esteem. The beauty of this program is they lose themself in the math because they've having fun playing a game, which is great!I believe there are two things that need to be stressed when they are really young--reading and math. Any product to help them master those two is worth it. This program helps them master math.

My 8 year old daughter had struggled with math since first grade. She loves the practices and challenges of the Olympic games and she especially loves winning the medals. My husband loaded the game and she was able to take it from there with no assistance. She is having fun and learning her math basics. The game is well worth the money.

If your child has not played any educational software games in the past, she or he might be content with this product. However, if your child needs visual stimulation as well as a lot of fun interaction, this game is seriously lacking in both areas. While some of the graphics and sounds are a slight-bit entertaining, they lose their attraction quickly. Math problems can be presented in a far more engaging setting. For example, Scholastic's Math Missions, although not in 3D graphics, is much better; placing math in context of story lines keeps the child engaged for hours.
