“Knowledge Adventure and JumpStart have been creating great learning games for years. Knowledge Adventure has recently launched a new virtual world, Math Blaster. This was created to help build math skills among children ages 6-12 while entertaining them with intergalactic space games.”
Do you know a child who would rather play a computer game than do math homework? I happen to have three of those kids. Imagine my kids surprise when I suggested they play Math Blaster on the computer. They still have no idea how much math they are doing while playing this fantastic game.
My kids love creating avatars called Blasters who become the newest cadets at Blaster Academy. The crazier combination….the more they laughed!
After completing arcade-style math challenges and racing through high-speed missions, they become members of the Intergalactic Space Patrol and explore a futuristic world, voyage to strange new planets and discover wacky alien races, all while practicing their math skills.
Here is one of my favorite games. The Intergalactic Space Patrol (the player) has a choice of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Each of the different types of math, have different levels of difficulty.
Another favorite of ours is matching the shapes of the items on the conveyor belt to the right bin. We race against the timer and cheer each other on.
So, here is the exciting part of this review for me and approximately 450 students! I was able to get a trial membership of Math Blaster for my children’s school and the technical teacher is already working with Knowledge Adventures to purchase Math Blaster for the school! The common themes among the students:
- Love Math Blaster.
- This can’t be math!
- Where can my mom buy this awesome game?
- This is so much fun!
So, don’t just take my word….trust a group of 6 – 12 years old! There are so many places to explore once you launch the math game, I would recommend you explore Math Blaster Blog for information about the latest additions to the game.
