I bought this for my 8 year old grandaughter. She needs help in Math and it works but it can be a little tricky making the letters and what is read by the DS. Would recommend this game.
Buy it for the nine year old in your life June 17, 2009

I bought this as a way to help my 4 children develop and maintain their computational skills over the summer. As I tried out the game so that I could show it to them, I became hooked myself! I have a college minor in math, and this game can be challenging no matter what your level, because it pushes you to improve your accuracy and your speed. I would finish and then say, "Darn! I can do better than that!" And then do it again. My oldest son is having a similar experience.
Some reviewers have complained about how the game doesn't recognize their handwriting. Although this is a little troubling at times, I actually really like this feature of the game: my 2 youngest sons are left-handed, and they make some of their numbers backwards, or in inefficient ways. This game requires that they make the numbers "correctly." It's one thing to have your old mom keep correcting your handwriting; but if you have to do it right to win the game, then you very quickly change your ways. Hooray for 7's and 4's going in the right direction!
This game has all sorts of clever drill methods, and many levels of practice, ranging from one-digit to 3-digit. It provides feedback on speed and accuracy. An effective and fun way of improving skills for both children and adults.
 It's okay.... May 23, 2009

Math has never been my strongest suit so I thought this would be great game to work the brain and brush up on my math skills. Well I have to say that within the first few minutes I lost interest and unlike Brain Age where I feel challenged this left me uninterested. That said, I think a kid just learning math would enjoy it more than I did, so.....
