( - The selection of three exercises changes every time the user advances to the next level - which happens every five days
- Depending on speed and accuracy a player will be rewarded with a bronze, silver or gold medal and a listing in the top three best times for that particular exercise
- The software keeps track on the days in which the users trained by rewarding them with 'tick' mark in the built-in calendar
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.

I really like this game. It does start off easy. But you move up a level after 5 days, so it does get harder. Lots of practice excercises and I like the 100 cell calculation as well. I agree though with one of the previous reviews about the handwriting recognition. With me it has a problem recognising the number 14. When this happens obviously it affects your score. It's good for adults and also for kids to learn their times tables. Have dropped one star because of the handwriting recognition, but overall a good game and would recommend.
boring

I hated this game, too easy and the music is sooo annoying. I played it for about 15 minutes before I decided to trade it in. If you want to practice your maths skills your`d be much better off with (more) brain training
disappointment :(

not what i expected at all. Its just too easy. definately for the children. i expected it to be challenging like the brain training but its the complete opposite. plus it doesnt quite pick up the numbers i write in, which can be irritating.
