Amazon.com Review

The Blaster learning series has long been popular with children and parents because of its award-winning combination of comprehensive curriculum skills and visually exciting graphics. In Math Blaster for First Grade, children are introduced to measuring and comparison, time, sequencing, addition and subtraction, and story problems.

Like all programs in this series, it manages to totally avoid boring old "skill and drill" and launches kids into an exciting gamelike environment that doesn't feel like homework. Whether this program is introduced at the beginning of the school year or later as a summerrefresher, you'll find it appropriate for most first graders, as it includes five different levels of difficulty. And with 150 different lessons and over 1,000 problems and puzzles to solve there's more than enough to keep children interested.

There are also lots of helpful tips that are great for encouraging those who need that extra bit of instruction. By using"Parent Tracker," it's easy for you to view and monitor your child's progress, and there are printable certificates for positive reinforcement. Whether you child is struggling in math, or in need of new challenges, Math Blaster is sure to provide your first grader with hours of both learning and fun. --Jill Lightner ... Read more

You can't go wrong with this purchase!
I have purchased almost all of the "Blaster" titles (Reading Blaster, Math Blaster, etc) and they are all excellent! You can't go wrong with these! These are truly "Edutainment". Games that just happen to teach at the same time. My daughter loves them and with their help is reading at a fourth grade level - and she's in 1st grade. All the games in the Blaster series keep the same recognizable characters. All have great songs that the kids love.

A++ In my book!

Enthralling for my child
My 2 year old loves this software package. She can literally play this game for hours. The games are a great introduction to reading graphs, sorting, fractions, and hand eye coordination. The package has a whole lot more, but the ones I mentioned above are the ones my daughter plays the most.

Math Blaster Ages 7-8
Math Blaster Ages 7-8 is a wonderful program that engages children in learning essential math skills required in 2nd grade curriculum.
