Tips:
Jefferson County evaluators suggest that this program "aids in teaching difficult concepts" and is "highly motivating". Technology & Learning judges were "impressed with the excellent, very specific feedback" and say the "lively music and beautifully done interactive animations will keep kids coming back for more."
The Children's Software Revue evaluator notes that the 6-year-old tester found some of the activities a little too challenging and one of the activities was "nearly impossible to carry out." However, this evaluator concludes, "Don't pass this by; even with its weaknesses, the games are fun and challenging."
Description: This interactive activity program teaches fundamental math concepts and helps students improve essential skills. Musical math lessons and skill-building activities with Lucky Seven Sampson and his friends focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, geometry, patterns and sequences, estimation, measurement, and problem solving. The program features eight challenging computer activities, dozens of printable activities, 11 original Schoolhouse Rock math videos, and five skill levels.
