Teachers or homeschoolers, take note of this six-pack of math games that forces children to think and apply basic math facts such as adding, subtracting and factors in real time. For example, in FunkyPlatform, they use the arrow keys to move a calculator across two moving platforms (like a typical log/river game) only they must balance an equation to make it across. Other games include: Factoroids (break down the factors into equal parts); Dividers (target each number with the correct divider); FacWall (arrange the fractions together to create a whole); BondBubbles (join the bubbles for rapid recall of number facts) and SeqSnake (work out the sequence to grow the snake). For teachers longing for the days of Math Blaster, when you could put in a disk and get some solid games that worked like a charm for a reinforcement activity, this is an excellent choice. The program was written by Max Wainewright. The $50 price is for a single license. Additional licenses are available at a cost of $30 each for 5-9 licenses; $20 each for 10-19 licenses; $17 each for 20-49 licenses; or $884 for an unlimited site license.
