Description:

Part of a series of titles in the Mighty Math line, Carnival Countdown is designed to teach thinking skills critical for success in mathematics through 5 fun games in a carnival setting. As with many of Edmark's titles, children can play in either free play or question and answer mode. Children can manipulate and explore pattern blocks in Pattern Block Roundup, sort cars into Venn diagrams, and group snap clowns to solve addition and subtraction problems in the circus. In Bubble Band children explore place value and practice regrouping skills, and learn about equality in the Giggle Factory as they help manufacture "giggles".

Features:

• 5 skill-building activities
• Choose Explore mode or Question and Answer mode
• Covers 3 years, K-2nd grade math skills
• Grow slide allows automatic or manual adjustment of difficulty levels
• Sorting and classifying skills
• Learn early geometry
• Plenty of problem-solving opportunities

Technical Aspects:

Installation was a breeze! It was fast and easy. The graphics in Carnival Countdown are pleasing and bright.

Report and Conclusions:

This title is now repackaged with Mighty Math Zoo Zillions in the more comprehensive Mighty Math K-2. It is a companion CD to Zoo Zillions, but does quite well as a stand-alone program.
