Description:

Grade 2 Math includes a nicely done workbook and CD-ROM with pages to practice math skills. The workbook is bright and colorful and is integrated with the games on the CD-ROM.

Features:

  • Practice addition and subtraction facts
  • Counting by 2s, 5s and 10s
  • Place Values
  • Multiplication
  • Triple digit addition and subtraction

Technical Aspects:

This program is on a PC/MAC hybrid CD-ROM. We didn't have any problems with installation or runtime. The sound effects add an element of fun to the drills - we loved the hyenas.

Report and Conclusions:

Grade 2 Math does a fine job of covering basic 2nd grade math concepts. The CD-ROM also has printable worksheets, which extends the value of the product. My own second grader will be using this program and some of the concepts have not yet been studied by her class. Grade 2 Math would be a welcome addition to any classroom or individualized setting.
