(More customer reviews)Overview (from the parent guide): Math Baseball supports number-fact drills through 12 in each of the following operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Players select the correct answer to flash card-like equations that appear on the screen. By choosing the right answer from two answer choices as quickly as they can, players advance the game. If they click on an incorrect answer, however, their team loses the play. It's a fast-paced game that increases in speed and difficulty as players answer questions correctly and slows down with easier problems if they answer incorrectly to allow more time for mental computation. The faster they solve equations, the faster and farther the ball travels. If players answer too slowly, the opposing team might catch their ball - but if they answer quickly, players can hit a single, double, triple, or even a home run!

I hesitated in purchasing this game for my 4 year old daughter because it seemed to be geared more toward elementary grades. Much of it is too difficult for her, but there is one area where she has fun. The T-ball section doesn't operate on a timer so she can take as long as she needs to count baseballs or figure out easy addition or subtraction problems.
I had my 11 year old son try this cartridge to see if he thought the rest of the game was fun (even if it was too easy for him). He had fun for a little while, but after a few innings and a score of 40-0 he became bored. It also didn't take him long to realize that there are only 2 choices for answers and he has a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer without even looking at the math question.
The only real negative item that I saw with this program for children in the recommended age range is that it only saves one team and one game created by the user. If you have more than one child using this cartridge, they will be overwriting each other's saved games and teams.
Overall, I think this cartridge is a fun way for children to memorize their math tables.
