Description:

Ready for Math With Pooh guides children through seven interactive activities that illustrate beginning math skills. Kids earn rewards to use as they build their very own gardens. Interacting with favorite Pooh characters as they play through the three levels of difficulty will allow kids to have fun even as they learn at their own pace.

Features:

• Rabbit's Rain Dance - sequencing
• Pooh-s Pantry - counting practice
• Piglet's Cupcake Kitchen - frost cupcakes, add them up, and put sprinkles on.
• Bug Collecting - sorting; concept of more or less.
• The Wishing Well - What does the Wishing Well wish for? You can help.
• Eeyore's Faded Calendar - practice writing numbers.
• Tigger's Contraptions - Follow the blueprints to make contraptions out of recycled items.

Reactions:

"Mom, I can do that!" was what we heard from our 4 year old. And so she can! Kids will have a lot of fun with this title and learn valuable skills as they play in the garden with Pooh and friends. Mathematical concepts are presented with clear illustrations and lots of fun, as well as the humor always in abundant supply in the 100 Acre Woods. This program ran quite nicely on our 486-66, 16M system, even when installed to a Zip drive, and we experienced no runtime problems or sluggishness.
