Unlike any other
Math Game!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Who says math can't be
fun?
The Learning Company's Operation Neptune software package teaches kids
math
and problem-solving skills. This exciting program helps players develop
skills
in pre-algebra and problem solving via a series of adventures as they
navigate
the hazards of the sea, interpret data they find in charts and maps and
solve
problems relating to area, volume and distance. This feature-rich
software
uses color graphics, digitized music and great sound effects - all of
which
keep kids interested and learning.
It’s a deep-sea search-and-rescue mission for an unmanned space
capsule.
Players are challenged to solve a variety of real-life math problems
that
build a solid pre-algebra math and problem-solving foundation,
including
an introduction to algebraic equations using whole numbers, fractions,
decimals,
ratios, and percentages. As they navigate hazardous undersea mazes,
players
interpret data found in charts, graphs, maps, and tables and solve word
problems
involving measurement concepts such as area, distance, and volume.
