Questions & Answers

Is it compatible with Windows 7?

Yes. I was able to get it to work on Windows 7. However, I'm not sure if I'm in Windows XP compatibility mode.

My 7-year-old (2nd grader) is bored with her addition and subtraction at school. Do you think this will be a good fit for her or will it be too difficult for her?

Math in elementary school is set far too low for what children are capable of, so I believe it will be fine. This is a fun way to learn more about math. Sit next to her while she tries it out and have a good time with her. You'll be able to tell if it's too difficult, but I'm confident it'll be fine.

Is Windows 10 compatible with this?

I have no idea. But, unfortunately, I have my doubts.

Is this compatible with an HP laptop?

It certainly ought to. I used it on a computer that was running Me at the time. This is the Millennium Edition.

It is educational, but it is not compatible with Macs
4/5

Despite the fact that the system requirements were met, Math Missions will not load on our Macbook Pro: "Mac OS X" is the name of the operating system used by Apple computers. The following is the response I received from the company: br>br>"Thank you for contacting Nova Development Technical Support. br>br>Apple has discontinued support for PowerPc applications, rendering the software incompatible with new Mac operating system versions. There is no way to get the software to work on Lion or Snow Leopard OSX. Unless Apple releases a patch/fix for PowerPC Applications, we will be unable to support the installation of this product on MAC OSX. "br>br>A company representative also advised that if you are running OSX 10. 6, you should upgrade to the latest version. If the number is 4 or less, the software will run; otherwise, it will not. At the moment, I'm using OS X 10. Math Missions aren't going to work because you're an 8, so don't bother. It does, however, work on my Windows 7 desktop computer. My 7-year-old son's The (educational) game is being enjoyed by nine children.

The games are a little out of date, but they're still entertaining
4/5

Although this product is out of date and has a low resolution, the games are quite enjoyable. br>br>Like many math education games, it appears to be a repackaged and resold product from the 1990s. The resolution is low, the graphics are poor, and there are no options to change the screen resolution. The game's compatibility with Windows 95 and 98 should have been a red flag. br>br>That caveat aside, the games are fantastic, have a lot of value for improving math skills, and kept my child's attention for hours; if you're looking for an older product, this is the one to get.

For a few weeks, my 7-year-old enjoyed playing this math game, and I believe it helped him improve or maintain his math scores, but I had a problem with the game sending us on a math mission to find an apparently impossible clue
3/5

My son and I attempted to find something in a scavenger hunt-style activity, but we were unable to locate it, and even technical support was unable to provide an answer, and the game would not allow us to progress or do anything else. br>br> After a few weeks, it forgot about that mission and assigned us to another that we could complete. I was on the verge of giving up, but it came through. Overall, it's a good game that can assist a child in the development of critical reasoning, which is at the heart of math skills.

The second one isn't quite as good as the first
3/5

This purchase left me feeling a little underwhelmed. It's more of the same, with insufficient learning assistance. For K-, this is the first one. The number two was excellent. For more practice, you can't seem to repeat what they believe you've mastered in this one.

It's energizing as well as entertaining
5/5

My 2nd grade daughter normally despises math, and her teachers advised me to try to persuade her to enjoy it. She is able to keep up with her academically "gifted" peers thanks to Sylvan and her parents' tutoring, but math is torturous for her. Surprisingly, she really enjoys playing this game! Very imaginative, stimulating, and enjoyable. Other enjoyable math games, such as 21 and Mathables, are currently being introduced.

Fun
4/5

For my student, this was a fun and educational game. I found it annoying to listen to, and I was pretty sure my student was guessing the answers to the majority of the problems. I wish they had a more intelligent program in place to detect such a trend. However, he expressed an interest in playing it, which I believe is a positive sign.

Love It
5/5

This product is one of my son's favorites, as well as mine. It's a difficult task, but it's well worth the effort. We like the mission and the scenery, and we like it when the girl character says that if you need help, you can contact her by clicking on the hand-held device. You can also choose to complete your mission in the scenery of your choice. It's exciting and enjoyable.

Math game that keeps you interested
4/5

This game is a hit with my 8-year-old son. She beat it fairly quickly, and then it raises her difficulty while keeping the same content, so she's starting to get bored. But it was enjoyable while it lasted!.
