Kids get lots of practice with multiplication, division, fractions, percents, pre-algebra and geometry. Best of all, there's enough suspense and danger built-in to keep the kids on the edges of their seats. Testers wanted to play this program all the way to the end. The CD would work well in either the home or classroom.

Just when you're about to say, "Enough Carmen Sandiego already," out comes yet another exceptional detective caper. This one tracks the globe-trotting thief into the numbers racket! Well, sorta. Instead of the geography, space, time and word worlds that Carmen previously pilfered, this menacing mystery comprehensively covers the basic mathematics, word-problem solving and geometry that's probed in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The 12 missions to save the world's greatest landmarks from Carmen's shrinking Quantum Crystallizer use made-up technology that'll have players doing complex computations forward and backward (really!), constructing geometric models and practicing mental math procedures, among other math skills. A big bonus is the Strategy Guide which helps with easy-to-understand problem-solving hints and tips that are both practical and conceptual. Best of all, this superb software help math-harassed grade-schoolers to recognize mathematics as a game. (Don Oldenburg, Parents' Choice®)
