Excellent Teaching Tool! March 3, 2009 Julie (IL United States) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I cannot recommend this game enough! My eight year old homeschooled daughter loves this game. After getting frustrated with the difficulty in getting her to remember her times tables, I purchased this game to try to help. She has gone from not wanting to even try the 7's to getting all 10 questions correct in 30 seconds. She gets excited when she beats her previous time and tries to beat it. If your child gets motivated by trying to beat their score, this is the game for them. They don't have to compete against anyone else, it's just working on beating their own score. There are several different names that can be entered and their scores are independent of each other. There are different levels for addition and subtraction so even adults can tune up their skills.
My Son Now Likes Math!!!! February 19, 2009 Paula J. Kawal (Black Diamond, WA) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
Our little boy is in the 3rd Grade and has been "getting by" in math without really liking it. We'd have to use positive reward type motivation to get him to do his drills without groaning and then my husband downloaded the demo of Personal Trainer Math.
Both our kids (8 & 5) played this demo non-stop for two hours until they passed out on the couch (they chose this over watching a movie with us)!!!
The game basically has them run through several different types of drills covering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with the help of a very cute animated professor!
The only frustrating thing is you have to teach yourself how to write the numbers so that the game can process your answers in order to get the best time.
The kids have got that figured out and now they do their daily tests each day. Our son is at a level six. He's very confident in his ability to solve math problems quickly (which is a huge improvement). It's so nice to see him excited about math!!! What a change in his attitude and approach to the subject this game has made!

The game is meant for children, but if you are an adult that needs to refresh and embed numbers in your brain, I would recommend this game. The flash cards are very very handy. The best part of this game is that you can access ALL of the flash cards even if you didn't get to that level.
Good for people with weak basic math skills. February 5, 2009 T. BUFORD (NORCROSS, GA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are weak in basic math skill, then this game is very useful in resolving this type of issue. I use it each day. I found that I am getting faster at processing math in my head.
