Is anyone familiar with Math Pentathlon games? What do you think about them?

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

K-7 from their website.

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:
