Type: Children Platform: Windows/Mac Publisher: Broderbund Released: 1995 Media: CD MATH WORKSHOP Math Workshop is a fun house containing 8 math based activity rooms. Upon entering you meet your guide Polly who tells you how the program works. She will also guide and help you once you are in any of the activity areas. This is a self directed program that allows you to choose what you want to do. On the main floor, there are 4 activity areas, 3 of which exercise your skills in visual construction, detecting patterns, and solving geometric puzzles. The fourth area "Window Patterns" allows you to be creative by making colourful geometric designs on your own.As you mount the stairs, you find 4 areas that exercise and test all your math skills. In one area " Rhythm Shop " you will actually learn how to identify fractions, and you will be tested on your skills. (See middle right) In "Bowling for Numbers" (see bottom right) you have a choice of adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, estimating or equivalency activities.In "Bowling for Numbers" a bowling pin pops down for each correct answer. When you get 10 pins, Gus The Gorilla goes bowling, and then you play another set. When you have completed 10 sets, you can move up to the next skill level, or switch to another type of math activity within the area.In "Boiler Room" you are presented with word problems (i.e. questions involving math calculations) challenging your accuracy and speed of response. In "Rhythm Shop" you identify different time codes of a music bar and hear music played to that time signature as a way of understanding fractions. And finally there is " Rockets " an interesting game of deductive logic. If you are looking for a program that gives tons of drill practice to assist a child in gaining proficiency in his or her basic math skills, this program provides more opportunity for straight drill or practice than any other program we have seen.For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
