Needs Updating
Having purchased the Reader Rabbit Learn To Read With Phonics, I wondered if there was a similar excellent product for early math learning. Unfortunately, Reader Rabbit Math, though it has some fun games, is a relic of an earlier era of educational software, and is difficult to install on a modern system, such as Windows XP. Reader Rabbit Math is an adaptation of an earlier game called Math Rabbit, and as a result, has some compatibility issues.
Both Reader Rabbit and Math Rabbit make an appearance in this title, as operators of two halves of a math carnival. Unlike the Learn To Read With Phonics series, there is no story arc for this math game, so it lacks the imaginative adventure that may help motivate some youngsters to keep going. This title is more like a conventional computer game, in which players play various math-based games to accumulate points. The two halves of the game are patched together somewhat awkwardly, and when a player chooses to play the Math Rabbit half, the screen area of the game actually shrinks by about 25%, perhaps reflecting older code that was written for display adapters with much lower resoltion than is available today. Also unlike Learn To Read With Phonics, the software makes players choose what level of difficulty they want to set for each of the games every time you play, rather than keeping track of a player's progress and adjusting the difficulty automatically, while keeping these configuration settings away from access by the youngsters.
When using the software with Windows XP, the program needs to run in Windows Compatibility mode.

Really good for a second grader!
My twin daughters were given this gift (math adventure ages 6-9) for x-mas when they were barely six years old. At the time, this game was WAY too advanced for them, and it actually irritated me because I had to help them out so much with it. Zip forward a few years and they are now eight years old and in the second grade. I put this game on a few days ago and was amazed at how useful it is now. It uses shapes, fractions, money, time, addition and subtraction. I strongly recommend this program, it closely matches concepts taught in the second grade and is very good practice (and a good way to get them out of your hair for a few minutes) :)

Reader Rabbit Reading
This review is specifically for Reader Rabbit Reading Preschool - 1st Grade. I had ordered Math Adventures, but the Reading one came instead; however, I kept it because my five-year-old daughter is enjoying it. The game is to collect letters to fill in a message. Before each letter can be put into the message, the player must go through several games, which will introduce the child to letter sounds and sight words. It is phonics-based. It probably can't replace reading instruction, but it is a good reinforcement.

Reader Rabbit Math Adventure Ages 4-6
It has been a great help in making learning math fun for both my 4 and 5 yr olds. They can't wait to play the games and their knowledge has improved on numbers, shapes, and colors in patterns and problem solving.
I highly recommand the "Reader Rabbit" Line of products to everyone who has pre-k thru school age children.

We got this for our son when he was 5, and he loves it. He continues to play it nearly daily. Solid math concepts, great graphics. He loves Reader Rabbit! A great buy!
