Thanks for mentioning it - I had thought the problem was somehow on my end. DS just hated EPGY, and this looks like perfect fun math for the summer. Color, sound and animation, hip, hip, hooray! And I enjoy the accents.

Exactly. DS5 needs colors, animation, and such. It has to have 5 year old appeal and 10 year old content That's bad that you are experiencing problems as well. The most frustrating part is that you cannot go directly to let's say Question 3 if it gets stuck in between. You have to repeat Question 2. At least in the demo version LMom

However, the content is indexed and categorized (class/grade levels) as per the curriculum in the respective country. Also, the content is customized to cater to the manner in which mathematics is taught in each of these countries, vocabulary /terminology variations and finally the advancement across different grade levels. - Also, we have HeyMath! PRIME (Program from Raffles Institution for Mathematics Enrichment) which is targeted specifically at higher ability students. Developed in collaboration with Singapore's # 1 school Raffles Institution, HeyMath! PRIME combines HeyMath!'s expertise in innovative digital pedagogy and Raffles Institution's rigorous assessment methodology. They very nicely offered to speak by phone, but I haven't had time. Meanwhile, this may help some of you. p.s. - the PRIME program does include calculus. Last edited by questions; 08/12/08 01:36 PM. Reason: added P.S.
