    I've never heard of it. I wonder what level of student they are catering to.

    Also from their site:

    "By using specially designed games and activities that differentiate instruction, ALL students of varying abilities and learning styles are motivated to enjoy math and spend more time learning this subject matter."

    "The Math Pentathlon program aligns with and stresses the following National and State Standards:

    Numbers & Operations
    Algebra
    Geometry & Measurement
    Data Analysis & Probability
    Problem Solving
    Reasoning & Proof
    Oral & Written Communications
    Connections & Representations
    "

    It looks like they are probably only focusing on maths that are for grades K-7. There are examples at this link:
