Professor Kageyama's Maths Training (DS)

I bought this game as soon as it came out as I enjoyed the more brain training game I got for Christmas which I still play everyday. The maths training game is brilliant. There is a daily test with three sections. There are 20 levels to this and you progress one level every five days of training, after that you become a master and continue with random tests. As well as the daily test there are two other sections. The practice, which lets you try any area of the game and the 100 cells and division section. The latter really does give you a good work out. I have found my mental maths has greatly improved using this repeated type of training and it ...  Read the complete review

My fiancée, as I am, is a massive fan of the self-assessment games on the DS and Wii, such as the hugely popular Brain training, Word Coach and Sight training games. In February 2008, for Valentine's Day, I treated her to Professor Kageyama's Maths Training... perfect romantic gift!

The game gives you twenty levels to progress through - and each level is scheduled to last a week, hence there will be some mileage ...  Read the complete review

For Christmas this year I was treated to my own DS, and so I went out and bought Maths Training for myself. Whilst the game was a very reasonable price... I am not impressed with the actual game play at all. It's a series of 10 x 10 grids and the basic times table grids are fine, but, it often didnt recognise the number I was writing (and my writing is neat and my numbers are legible) and also it seemed that the makers had tried to make this about how fast you can complete a grid, rather than with Brain Training which was more about how ...  Read the complete review

After playing Brain Training non stop on the DS, I thought I'd give Maths training a go. I used to be a right bright spark when it came to Maths as a kid, but despite working for a bank my maths turned out to be awful and I find myself struggling on times tables. So this was an excellent game for me - at first I struggled with some of the sums, but it's amazing how quickly you can pick something back up again, kind of like riding a bike I guess. There's various different training methods in this game, from long division and long sums, to the hundred cell calculation method, which is the best part of the game, in my opinion. It's basically a grid ...  Read the complete review
