Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My kids love it :)
Review: My kids are 3 & 4 years old and they love this program. Highly recommend this program for kids who like to play on the computer and like to learn without knowing they are learning :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: outstanding!
Review: My oldest son was having a lot of trouble in grade two with both math and reading and I purchased this CD-rom hoping it would help him to learn by having more fun and not even realizing he was learning. I was not let down. He loves to play this game. The story line is great and very entertaining and the graphics are excellent. Overall I highly recommend this game to help any child to master early grade math skills. Well woth the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for summer between 3rd and 4th grade
Review: My sister literally sat down for 5 hours playing it! She finished it in 2 days! She was hooked (she's crazy about gamecube, and apparently, this program was right up her alley). Although I'm not sure if six year olds will really be able to handle it (some of the concepts seem too advanced for the average six year old), it is great for second and third graders, particularly the summer before fourth grade (which is when my sister played it).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful game to learn beginning math skills.
Review: My son who is four loves this game.

It uses appropriate level games to drill math skills in a fun way. I love the reader rabbit products, but this is my son's favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A kid favorite!
Review: My sons will be in 2nd and 3rd grade in the fall. They just love this game and would rather play it than any of their other games. I hope to find a sequel for they will be done with this game before long.

Summary: I LOVE THIS GAME!
Review: Okay, I'm in sixth grade- a little old for a second grade game, but I DON'T CARE! This is a really great computer game that features my favorite Reader Rabbit character, Sam the Lion. He's so strange. And if any of you get stuck in the skillways because you can't get past the trapdoor (this happened to me), you can jump OVER the trapdoor by pushing the Up arrow and the LEFT arrow. (Many thanks to my eagle-eyed little sister for discovering this.) In short, this is a really great game that is not just for second graders.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Your child will learn math!
Review: This is a great math game. The colors are bold and music is entertaining. It can be a little fustrating swimming through the stream to get the right answers for younger ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He plays it willingly and learns along the way!
Review: This is the best math program I've seen. Though I have more exploring planned I know already there are plenty of turkeys. The tragedy is that math is (IMHO :) interesting and practical, yet drill-and-kill programs never make it seem that way. RR Math is partly a drill program but disguised in arcade-style games.

My almost 6-y.o. has rekindled his interest in RR Math and had played a lot over the last week, and has even been cajoled to ratchet up the skill levels -- with the promise he can always go back down. The program can also auto-ratchet the skill level. Most of the individual activities are reasonably fun, though the animation is pretty crude by the standards of other programs (Think early "Speed Racer" or other made-for-TV cartoons :).

I'm impressed they put in an activity for counting money, something that's not all that simple I realized when I tried to explain it. The telling-time activity likewise gets quite challenging. As you can see, I've been watching over his shoulder and haven't been bored away, although the repeating theme music *really* gets on your nerves after a while. (It can be turned off, but HE likes it.)

I predict playing these "games" helps my son towards a familiarity and confidence with numbers that makes the more advanced stuff later on less intimidating. But realize it is still the grown-ups who teach the actual math, as well as we can!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A definitely must have!!
Review: This program is great fun and educational for any kid between the ages of 5 and 9. My 4 year old loves to play even though he hardly understands math concepts. He sees the fun his older siblings are having and therefore joins in. My 2nd grader gets easily frustrated with math but not with this software, simply because it is entertaining and he does not even realize that he is doing math.
