Designed for kids ages 7 to 12, Gold Medal Math teaches math facts using the Olympics and Olympic competition as its springboard. Ten Olympic sporting events challenge kids to learn various math applications and concepts. Complete with humorous sports announcers, mathletes, 3-D animations, and much more, kids tackle as many math problems as they can in one minute. Their performance in events, like the javelin or bobsled, is based on the number of problems correctly answered. Second through sixth grade students strengthen their math skills, while building greater confidence in their math capabilities.
If your child knows all the rules of addition, substraction and the multiplation table, but he/she is just slow; this software can be helpful. This software can create a random set of exercises at various difficulty level and challenge the child to do as much as he/she can in one minute. Pratice makes perfect. It works.
My 8 year old daughter had struggled with math since first grade. She loves the practices and challenges of the Olympic games and she especially loves winning the medals. My husband loaded the game and she was able to take it from there with no assistance. She is having fun and learning her math basics. The game is well worth the money.
