 Helped me improve! March 30, 2008

It really made me get better at Maths but I would like it if there were more features. Buy this game if you want to get better at Maths because it's pretty cheap.

This is the latest in a series of games designed to help improve your cognitive skills, in this case by testing basic maths skills, encouraging you to become faster and more accurate at every day maths problems.
The hundred cell method is mildy interesting, but overall this game is dissapointing. It is nowhere near as fun as the other brain training games, and the games you play are quite boring. Obviously it was always going to be a bit one dimensional given that it concentrates on maths where other games focus on various abilities, but that is no excuse for the lack of imagination on display here and controls that require nothing except writing numbers. A poor use of DS technology, and completely inessential for anyone with the original games.

Overall this game provides very useful practice for times tables, multiplication, subtraction, division & addition - and seems to be particularly appealing to children who are addicted to their DS :-)
The daily test is short enough (c. 5 minutes)to make it 'fun' for primary school children & so can be done before going to school - eg over breakfast?. It was used daily in our house during the recent school half term - with no prompting from me!
Agree with earlier posting about the fact that their writing is not always recognised - my bete noir is the number 4! I guess practice makes perfect.....
Would prefer for the game to include progression charts (so child/children can see over time how they have improved ) and include name of person who holds the time record for each event a la Brain Training game - for those with a competitive streak.
Minor gripe: colours of medals should be a bit more distinct, colourwise (bronze and gold are very similar)
Great little Maths game February 23, 2008

Bought this game the day it came out and am now on level 4.
I'm in my sixties and love all the training games for my DS.
I do not have a problem with recognition of my numbers on this game.
This one would also be great for kids to learn how to do Maths - they can even learn times tables on it!
Good but some entry error issues February 10, 2008

The Good: This has some really good maths testing and training facilities with just about the right level of difficulty. Ideal for someone who just likes testing themselves or for someone that needs to improve their maths skills.
The Bad: This requires the answers to be handwrittend with the stylus. For some users this will mean you write the correct answer but the program will see it as a different number. I have a massive problem with 9 which gets read as a 0 or a 2 and quite often 8 gets mistaken for a 2 or a 6. This can be really infuriating. A better implimentation would have been to have a touchpad imput for the right answer rather than a written one.
If you have bad handwriting go for Big Brain Academy instead.
