What kind of documentation or online help (tutorial) is available? How user friendly is the software for the target audience? There are online tutorials to help with setup and overview of the game. I have used this game with kids in 4th and 5th grade and they love it. They liked that it was an adventure game and could defeat the monster with the use of answering multiplication problems.
Note computer requirements and the Operating System compatibility.
Look for additional available resources that might supplement the software. Does it come packaged with lesson ideas? Are online resources available? I did not find any additional resources from the site that would supplement this software. It does not come packaged with lesson ideas or other resources. There is a progress chart that can be used for the class and/or individual.
Share an idea or two about how you might use the software in your classroom. How might you integrate the software application? This software can be used to help reinforce multiplication facts. It is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn. I would use this to accompany the main lesson on multipilcation or use it as a stand alone activity to review the facts.
