MATH MANIA GAMES
Sort and Count
In Sort and Count you're assigned a specific number of objects to
collect. Get 6 bananas. Find 4 apples. The directions are simple,
but you've got to catch the falling objects in your basket while other
fruit keeps falling, too. Use the mouse, cursor pad or arrow keys to
move your basket. When you collect the exact number of objects
you're supposed to, move your basket to the right corner of the screen
to the
icon or press Enter to check out. SkillStarter™ Notebook
will then check you out and reward you if you collect the right number
of objects. You can press Help at any time and the objects falling
from the sky will get less confusing.
Addition
It all adds up: Add the numbers and input the answer. Use the mouse, cursor pad or
arrow keys to click the or to input answers. Press Enter to confirm your answer. Or
you can use the keyboard to type the numbers directly. Remember, you've got to act
quickly, you're on a strict time limit!
Subtraction

Addition.
This or That
The screen will show two different-sized objects along with an instruction to find the bigger
or smaller one. Follow the directions and click on the appropriate one with your mouse.
Or use the cursor pad or arrow keys. Either click or press Enter to confirm your answer.
Time’s Up
What happens when the clock strikes 13? Time to get a new clock! In this game, you'll
see a clock followed by 3 multiple-choice answers showing the digital time. Choose the
correct time using the mouse, cursor pad or arrow keys. Or you can use the keyboard to
type the letters A, B or C to select the right time to answer. Press Help to remove 1
incorrect answer.
