Personal Trainer: Math
“game” for Nintendo DS hit store shelves about a week ago, and Nintendo is working hard to promote it. It’s no easy taskâwe are talking about math, after all. (And I’m sure math-is-tough stereotypes like that are part of the problem.) The game is being targeted not only toward students but also to adults who want to build their math skills, whether for day-to-day use or to help their kids with their homework.
The game includes educational activities for all ages (Well, ages 5 to 55, according to Nintendo.) There’s a daily test, practice exercises and something called the Kagyama method for 100-cell Math and Division Marathon. “Math is fun again,” Nintendo promises.
On Feb. 8, the Nintendo World Store in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza is hosting the Battle on the Plaza, featuring Personal Trainer: Math. To sign up, call 646-459-0800.
There’s an entire Web site dedicated to Personal Trainer: Math. Next up in the popular Personal Trainer series is Personal Trainer: Walking.
