Personal Trainer: Math

A treat, albeit a masochistic and frustrating one. [Issue#21, p.89]

Calling Maths Training a game could be stretching it a little, but anyone who needs to brush up on their maths skills or enjoys the idea of small daily maths quizzes will get a lot of value out of this game.

As I say, for its target market, PKMT could be a really good thing, provided parents use it and, more than that, make sure their kids use it.

This math-based minigame collection works well as a revision tool for reinforcing what you already know, but is unlikely to teach any new skills.

Maths Training looks good on paper and has a few good ideas, but forgets the importance of making learning fun.

As effective as the Hundred Cell method may be, it would have been good to see more fun exercises included instead of just yet more black-and-white sums. The exercises are too simple for adults.

This is a brain trainer done bad. Even though the concept is good enough, the game does not offer any form of fun or challenge. Even the target audience, young students and seniors, won't really enjoy themselves. Dutch language is also missing, which makes this difficult for some people.
