Personal Trainer: Math

What all have I done today (well besides play on my blog?) I have been sitting here playing with my new Personal Trainer: Math game for the Nintendo DS. This game has been a lot of fun, and I know Hubby is going to get a kick out of this game as well.

Having trouble getting your kids into their math homework? Do you ever struggle for exact change at the cash register, or wrack your brain trying to divide a dinner bill? Personal Trainer: Math for Nintendo DS is just the thing to keep those math skills sharp! It's a fun and rewarding collection of educational activities suitable for people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're five or fifty-five, Personal Trainer: Math makes arithmetic easy and enjoyable. It's like having a classroom in the palm of your hand!

DAILY TESTING:
Daily Testing gives you a test made up of three exercises that match your level of study. You can only complete the test once per day. If you take the test every day and get a good score, you will be able to move up to the next level after a few days. If you seem to require a little more practice, then you will be presented with the same exercises the next day (although the questions will be different). There are 20 levels of study in all.



I am on level ONE.



PRACTICE EXERCISE:
With Practice Exercises, you can freely play all Personal Trainer: Math activities except the 100-Cell Math and Division Marathon located in the Kageyama Method mode. The practice mode is perfect for focusing on calculation techniques such as carrying or borrowing, memorizing multiplication tables, reviewing what you have learned in school, or practicing those sticky math exercises that may still need a bit of work.

One of the games I found fun is the ladder addition. Yes, I have only tried it on the addition. I'm scared to move on from that!



Here are some screen shots of a few of the Practice Exercises.


Here is a video of me walking through the game. Please don't laugh at my voice, I have been sick the past two days.
