Shrek Early Math

Summary: game with little math
Review: My son, 4, likes to play this because you can get shrek to jump around in a dungeon. OK, he is chasing quarters and dimes, the numbers add up, etc., but the math is not central to what he is doing and can be ignored. (It is ignored.) Must it be that way for one so young? I think it is too easy to say, well, I guess there is no alternative to just playing. THere must be a more imaginative way to stimulate a young mind in math. I believe this fails - there is no sense of ongoing game, no true link to math concepts.

Not recommended.

Summary: Sherk maths
Review: Sherk maths ( I will just call it shrek) is great!I am ten so it is a bit easy for me. But for some one younger it would be good I think. My little sister does not play shrek that much. but I like it when i want to play something that will make me think. you can play in a forest or a castle (you do not get to pick the computer picks where you play)there is level 1 which has money (where the computer says for example find the dimes so you have to walk around finding all the dimes)level 1 has counting,numbers,shapes,colors. level 2 has greater than,less than,time, addition and subtraction.
level 3 has addition, subtraction, odd/even, fractions, multiples . all levels have a challenge where the computer picks what you do.
hope my review helped you
