Children can work at their own pace, check their work and try problems again to reinforce math skills such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. Audio guidance, step-by-step examples and an electronic scratch pad help second graders succeed. Children take a break between work with games like Snake Racer. Randomized problems, progress tracking and personalized printouts motivate learning. A bonus workbook gives added practice

Makes math fun! May 8, 2008
Catherine Swinford (Raleigh-ish, NC)
Unfortunately my daughter does NOT love math at all. But since we got this program she is improving because she loves to play! The program rewards success with fun little games and encourages kids to do their best, but doesn't make them feel awful about the occasional mistake. It's a really well-done program. We will be using this for future grade levels, as well.
 Definitely worth the money August 19, 2007

Math Grade 2 (Schoolzone)
This game provides 200 problems in 30 sets that concentrate on addition and subtraction. The first sets reinforce the meaning of and relationship between addition and subtraction. Next come the facts. Then, after a couple of sets covering place value, comes application of addition and subtraction algorithms up to three-digit problems with carry/borrow. The final sets touch on multiplication: its meaning, relationship to addition, and a few facts (2x and 3x only).
Games are provided between problem sets to help maintain interest. I was pleased to see that some minimum number of problems must be solved before a game appears, so the little scholar must work first to play later.
The program remembers what problems have been solved, so exiting the program doesn't mean having to start again from the very beginning. With only 200 problems, this program won't keep your kid occupied very long (my 6 year-old took three weeks to finish). It's possible to start over with new problems in the same format, but that would be boring.
Other than its limited scope (which is OK, given the low price), the only drawback is that your child won't exactly be bugging you to get off the computer so she can do math. Games aside, this program is basically an electronic workbook, not an arcade game. That's OK too - you're buying education, not entertainment.
NOTE: The Amazon listing states that Windows 95 or 98 is required. This is way out of date. The disk we got was labelled as XP-compatible, and ran just fine on our XP machine.
Maura's Review
Math 2 is a great program. It helps me with math. Math 2 is amazing! I have never seen anything like it. So whatever you do something with math...get Math 2!**
** Translation: this program is very pretty when seen in the rear-view mirror.
My son loves this! November 3, 2006

My son loves math so I was looking for a program that he might enjoy. He plays it often and I usually have to drag him from the computer!
Great for second graders and home motivation. October 30, 2001
P. D. Stewart (Cameron Park, CA United States)
I teach a first/second grade combonation class. This math program allows my second graders to learn at their own abilities, and my high first graders to be challenged. The program keeps track of the students progress and allows them to correct the problems they missed. (I like that a lot!)
It is also a great motivation for my own child at home. He is in school all day. So coming home to do more work is tough, this lets him practice his math in a different way. Great program!!!
