Children Ages 9 to 14 Develop Skills In Pre-Algebra and Problem Solving Via A Series of Sea Adventure

Product Information

Who says math can't be fun? The Learning Company's Operation Neptune software package teaches kids math and problem-solving skills. This exciting program helps players develop skills in pre-algebra and problem solving via a series of adventures as they navigate the hazards of the sea, interpret data they find in charts and maps and solve problems relating to area, volume and distance. This feature-rich software uses color graphics, digitized music and great sound effects - all of which keep kids interested and learning.

It's a deep-sea search-and-rescue mission for an unmanned space capsule. Players are challenged to solve a variety of real-life math problems that build a solid pre-algebra math and problem-solving foundation, including an introduction to algebraic equations using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages. As they navigate hazardous undersea mazes, players interpret data found in charts, graphs, maps, and tables and solve word problems involving measurement concepts such as area, distance, and volume.
