Unfortunately, I bought this at the same time as the Mia Reading Program. I found it just as difficult and just as useless in an educational setting.

I can’t believe how poorly this game runs. My daughter cannot play this game on any of our macs. I have a new age aluminum macbook and aluminum imac. Both have maxed out ram. I am a very experienced computer user and nothing would make this game even acceptable. Choppy game play until freeze or crash. Will not remember user name or where we left off.
Uninstalled reinstalled. Only program running etc. I tried to get my money back from the apple store but could not because it was already opened. Very disappointed so please don’t make the same mistake.

My children have been playing Mia Math and Mia Reading games for close to one year. They look forward to playing the games and set the level of difficulty themselves. My eight year old son enjoys the plot and the characters as much as my six year old daughter. I was worried that the game would be only appeal to girls but he doesn’t even mind the lack of firepower (as can be found in the kind of video games his friends are playing). We bought the software as a fun and educational way to pass time and we’re quite pleased with the product.

This educational software helps me sneak in some math drills into my daughters’ day. It is definitely supposed to feel like they are just playing a game, and my girls play it without me having to tell them to give a try.

Unlike so much of the software for kids, this is well-constructed, with an interesting and usable user interface, and challenging problems. I have a pretty bright seven-year-old, and she loves this one.
BTW, anyone who finds logic-based software like this of interest for their kids should check out Squeak, a programming language developed for kids by Alan Kay (who invented a good bit of modern computing). It’s available for free on the Net.
