At the outset, players are welcomed to the castle and asked to enter their name and grade level. This information is stored, so it's easy for multiple players to set up characters on the same DS unit, making it a great choice for families on the go or students who want to compare results with their friends on the bus. Once they're ready to play, kids will start working through lessons as little green vampires, and they'll have the opportunity to progress through 10 different topics, learning new concepts, practicing them, and repeating lessons to ensure that they stick. They'll also be tasked with mastering brief quizzes that provide an incentive for practicing skills until they are perfect. Even Vampires Need Math for Everyday Tasks
Whether it's arranging geometric blocks into Tangram animals, figuring out how far the monsters drove on their European road trip, solving mazes, or doing basic addition and subtraction to figure out the cost of items in a store, this game ties learning abstract concepts to concrete examples for better overall understand--and extra fun. More advanced students will even get a chance to earn stars and other rewards by racking up right answers to division and multiplication problems, just like they do in real classrooms.

It is a great game...but what I like most about it that it goes up in grades so my 6 year old daughter can play with it for years to come...

I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter who will be entering 1st grade in September. The game says right on it "For grades 1-4", unfortunately, when you start the game the options are only for 2nd-5th grades. So, if you have a child in or going into 1st grade, this game is NOT for him or her. Very misleading.

Great game, entertaining and educational. I am using it to help my granddaughter get a head start for 2nd grade. It worked wonderfully on vacation. Kept her occupied on a 8 hour drive.

I hated math when I was a kid and I was not so good at it, either. Now, I use math in my job every day. Some of my co-workers are better at doing numbers in their heads than I am, which is why I bought this game. If you do some math drills, you will get better! And you will not need a calculator for everything. I've been using the game a few times a week, whenever I have a little spare time. The drills are fun, they are repetitive enough to help you improve, but not so repetitive as to be boring. It is a fun and interesting challenge to see how many problems you can get right and to work up the levels. As a professional instructor, I think this game will actually teach you something worthwhile. This game is suitable for kids ages 10 and up and also for adults who need to keep their job skills competitive.
 A great concept but not so well executed April 15, 2009

I bought this game after successfully convincing my daughter to play "Personal Trainer: Math". Compared to the later, "Learn Math" is very colorful and school-friendly. Unfortunately the game has somewhat poor code execution. The result: an unresponsive game which gives little feed back. Most buttons have to be clicked in a very small area and the place to click seems randomly distributed. It would have been nicer if the pieces were to be dragged in place than clicked. If you answer a question wrong the mascot only shakes his head but does not offer a feedback. Toggling around the fill-in spaces is horrible and surprisingly it does not take any inputs from cursor buttons of console. Nevertheless, the game must be praised for fairly high standard of problems. However I have modified my previous review because the game has managed to keep my child motivated and she has not been put off by the quirks of the game. She enjoys playing it though our favorite remains "Personal Trainer: Math". I wished the developers could fix the technical aspects of this game.
