This program covers the basics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and also presents word problems and early geometry through a variety of skill levels.
We found Mighty Math Zoo Zillions to be the most entertaining yet educational game we reviewed for young math students, including those who are just learning to read.
Mighty Math Zoo Zillions is easy to use. Kids should have no problem navigating through the program and playing the games after parents walk them through the first time.
This program covers the math fundamentals in “Annie’s Jungle Trail” as well as reasoning, number relationships and spatial awareness through five activity areas. The activity areas include the “Gnu Ewe Boutique” where kids can learn how to count money and add/subtract decimals as change. Some of the activities even have a two–player option.
Zoo Zillions includes word problems and spoken story problems that are suitable for young children who are just learning to read. It also offers activities in counting forward and backward on a number line.
Mighty Math Zoo Zillions is quite similar to Mighty Math Carnival Countdown, except it includes word problems and covers multiplication, division and 3D geometry. Therefore, Carnival Countdown may be more suitable for younger children (4-7), whereas Zoo Zillions offers a few more subjects and might be more applicable to the 5 to 8–year old range.
The games and activities in this program present all the basic math fundamentals in an entertaining manner. This would be a great supplement to an introduction to math curriculum and the spoken story problems can help those just learning to read.
The vibrant colors, animated characters and interactive cartoon–type games proved to be appealing to young children. Children have particular tastes when it comes to graphics and unfortunately, many educational programs cannot compete; however, this program has the ability to capture young children's attention and instill the math basics that will support their future advancement in mathematics.
