This twist on a math quiz helps make arithmetic more fun; however kids may quickly lose interest due to the simple graphics and basic sounds. Speed Math uses a race car theme to teach math concepts. This program randomly generates math problems and users can select from five car types. The correct answers move the car step-by-step along a series of courses; if the answer is wrong the user can try again or move on to the next question. Functions include four problem types with several levels of difficulty. Even though the Problem Type menu lists addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as choices, the latter three are disabled in the trial version. This easy-to-use tool is targeted to small children, but changing the difficulty level from easy to hard produced questions with double digits that are more appropriate for older kids.Publisher's description
