 Absolutely Amazing!! November 28, 2005

Absolutely Amazing!! Both my 8 yr. old and 10 yr. old daughters have found this software entertaining, challenging, and educational. The software has four different skill levels that is challenging to both their learning needs. You can either play the game with Mia Mouse or just do the activities.
If you're an adult, don't be discouraged by the interface - it's not for you, it's for your child. They will love it, listen to the instructions and figure out how to make Mia move and find clues.
I initially sent this back, tried three other programs and finally came back to this as the best math software available for 3rd and 4th grade girls!

My daughter is 6 years old and is reading well, but she may have a learning disorder with math. The jury is still out on that. This program was exactly what I had hoped it would be. It is fun, and my daughter gets caught up in the story. She gets very excited when she gets the hang of doing the problems. For the most part, the program is appropriate for her skill level. The activities push her, but are not so difficult that she becomes too discouraged. I do have to sit with her and help her with some of the math activities, but she is willing to try to do the problems on her own because the game has inspired her. This is one of the first academic type of activity we've done where she has actually asked me to let her do it on her own and doesn't want my help most of the time. Each section of the adventure has a smiliar pattern to it, and learning to use the program is very intuitive. Whenever you need help you just click on Mia's face, and that has always been enough to figure out how to get going in the right direction. Each time the program runs it is slightly different, which is also a nice feature. We have not used the program on the more advanced levels yet, but so far we've been very pleased and would probably purchase other programs by this company.

My daughter is 6 and she loves this game. She has played it non stop since she got it. Through great graphics and entertaining story kids go on an adventure with Mia to make a time machine to stop a fire. In the process they learn shapes, temperature,directions,sequencing, problem solving, adding, subtracting etc. There are 4 levels of difficulty so that when kids master one level they can move up to the next. My child is learning math and enjoying it! Bravo!
Excellent for kids with concentration problems! July 28, 2005

I bought this for my son who was having difficulties with multiplication and division at school. It not's that he wasn't a smart kid, but more so that he had a hard time concentrating at school for something he wasn't interested in. My wife suggested we try software games and we found this. It is amazing. My son loves the Mia characters and spend hours on the computer, we can't even tear him off it and as a result, his math has improved. Well recommeneded for anyone whose child has learning difficulties or concentration problems.
A good blend of storytelling and fun July 8, 2006

We got "Math Blaster" for our six-year-old, who has been a very savvy computer user since he was 18 months old. It was so difficult to maneuver the character (jump over wrong answers, run through correct ones) he actually cried over it.
Mia's math is much more gentle. The storytelling does take up time in the game, but it seems to give them a rest between problems. There is geometry ("which figure has two congruent sides?"), basic math facts ("2 + 5" on level 1, "2 x 4 x 3" on level 4), following directions ("take the tunnel on the lower right"), and telling time ("move the clock back 3 hours").
We have had the game for about two weeks, and so far it's getting played every day. Our older son plays it at level 3 or 4, and our little one (four years old) plays it at level 1 with a bit of help.
I have not yet found out where to find the "report card" - I have asked their tech support.
