Trickomatics is a leveled supplementary math curriculum that blends interactive games with animated cartoons designed to put the math into context. The software is sold the old fashioned way -- on CD-ROMs and DVDs. According to marketing materials, the program uses "an alternative approach of Hollywood entertainment and interactive technology for teaching children, ages 7 -11." The software covers place value, mental math and word problems. For $130 you get a "beautifully packaged box containing a DVD of the animated Trickomatics movie as well as a CD-ROM containing the interactive technology-based program."
