On your way home from school, you tumble into a mysterious underground laboratory.
To escape the lab, you must solve a series of challenging math puzzles. Hostile blobs, flying critters, blasts of steam and many other obstacles stand in your way.
And your sole companion, a nervous PDA named Abacus, has a bad case of memory loss.
That's the premise of The Abacus Project, a compelling new adventure program designed to develop children's math, logic and problem-solving skills. Children spend more time on higher-level thinking than on basic computation.
Everyone will enjoy this engaging, entertaining game that helps children build a strong basic math foundation.
The program is made up of three game-play modules and a powerful administration utility.
Game-Play Modules:
1) Puzzle Play
In this module, children solve a series of mathematics puzzles. The puzzles challenge and build children's skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
The puzzles also test and build children's knowledge of:
- place value
- fluid measurements
- sequencing
2) Arcade Play
- In this module, children engage in an environmental arcade game interspersed with the mathematics puzzles from Puzzle Play.
- Children take on the role of a child named Kim. On the way home from school, Kim falls into a mysterious underground laboratory. With help from the sometimes-forgetful Abacus, Kim must find a way out of the lab.
3) Flash Cards
The Flash Cards module aims to help children increase their speed and accuracy in basic math problems. |
