Review

 

The foundation of Dr Kageyama's Maths Training is 100 square calculations, a method conceived by Kageyama Hidea, a Japanese elementary school principal. The DS is held side ways like a book and all answers are written using the stylus. The key principal of the software is repetition which according to Kageyama stimulates the brain. The main exercise, 100 cells maths, consists of 100 hundred simple maths problems combined into a 10 by 10 grid using the numbers at the top and side of the grid. There are however many other exercises, ranging from simple one digit math problems to slightly more complex three digit challenges.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Brilliant for kids

As a maths tutor I've been recommending it to all my younger students. Exam success is vital these days and speed of the essence. If you can calculate fast then you increase your thinking time for maths concepts and this is a key to success. So yes, it is a little tedious if you are good at maths, and yes number recognition for 4 and 8 can be tricky, but if it gets kids making basic maths techniques second nature it's brilliant...and practice in this case certainly makes faster and more accurate if not perfect. Dropped the star only for the recognition flaws which badly affects your time...perhaps they could freeze the time if you need to go back to re-enter in the next version?
