Math Blaster is a new award-winning game from the makers of JumpStart that teaches elementary school age kids to use math to solve problems for the characters. Featuring different types of math at all different math skill levels, Math Blaster turns computer time into a fun learning experience for kids in all grades.We received a free subscription for Math Blaster and Avery, my 9 year old third grader, was very excited to try it out. Avery is a total math lover and a bit of a computer nerd, so he was in heaven playing this game.
He really couldn’t answer when I asked which game was his favorite, because he liked all the mini-games so much. I did, however, notice that he played one section a lot where he had to scale levels and answer math questions about tenths, hundredths, etc . . . to go forward. He played that particular section several times that I saw.
