"Perfert for practicing basic math skills!"
Pros
You can use your numeric keypad to enter your answers instead of using your mouse to answer a multiple choice like question... the games aren't too bad... I like the Time Trial one.. you can definitely see if you're improving through that. The program could also use an options dialoge for basic things like turning off the sound, images or what the default settings (difficulty/operation) should be when you load it. I've been looking for a program that helped me with basic math and I think I've finally found it.
Cons
I'm not too sure that beginners can do 154 / 22 -- but maybe that's just me. Also in the 'Head to Head' game.. it doesn't seem to allow ties to happen.. so even if both players get the same amount of questions right.. the player who started first will always win. But other than that nothing too trifling.. I still recommend this program very much.
