This information is stored, so it's easy for multiple players to set up characters on the same DS unit, making it a great choice for families on the go or students who want to compare results with their friends on the bus.p Once they're ready to play, kids will start working through lessons as little green vampires, and they'll have the opportunity to progress through 10 different topics, learning new concepts, practicing them, and repeating lessons to ensure that they stick. They'll also be tasked with mastering brief quizzes that provide an incentive for practicing skills until they are perfect.p bEven Vampires Need Math for Everyday Tasks/bbr Whether it's arranging geometric blocks into Tangram animals, figuring out how far the monsters drove on their European road trip, solving mazes, or doing basic addition and subtraction to figure out the cost of items in a store, this game ties learning abstract concepts to concrete examples for better overall understand--and extra fun.p More advanced students will even get a chance to earn stars and other rewards by racking up right answers to division and multiplication problems, just like they do in real classrooms.p br clear="all"

 the math isn't hard but the directions are August 17, 2010

I bought this game to help make math fun for my 7-year old son who needs help w/ math. He knew the answers but we couldn't figure out what we were supposed to do w/ the game.
 Lack of feedback and ignorance of correct answers make this game a very frustrating experience April 17, 2010

I bought this game for my 6yr old son. Given the choices of problems available, I'd say the game is a great fit. However, the lack of feedback from the game doesn't allow a kid to learn from its mistakes. For example, the game asks the child to calculate the results of 10 additions (one number remains the same and has to be added to 10 different numbers - 3+1 =4, 3+5= 8,...). So, when the kid does all the calculations correct, the game acknowledges that. However, if one or multiple answers were incorrect, the game just says that this was wrong. It doesn't tell which calculations were incorrect or what the correct answers would have been. Similarly, the game only acknowledges a correct answer if it has been entered in a certain way. As another reviewer pointed out here, you have to enter a multiplication in the right order - without the game telling you what the right order is. So, the game accepts 5x4=20 as correct, but claims that 4x5=20 is incorrect. The same issue appears in puzzle games. If you have to create a shape out of smaller shapes, the game seems to expect that you come up with one very specific solution - even though there are several possible solutions to the problem.
br /Needless to say, the game was "played" a few times and never touched again.

 Daughter loves it February 9, 2010

I bought this for my daughter who is 8 almost 9. She has been playing this game everyday since she got it. She likes that while doing the math problems she earns stars that are used towards playing the games. Math is my daughters favorite subject so getting her to do math is not a problem, this just encourages her to keep up on her skills and to learn new ones. I have even tried the 5th grade level myself and it was fun.
