 Fun, but awkward teaching tool January 3, 2009
Noca (Davis, CA USA)
I purchased this for my 7-year-old son's Leapster ahead of a long road trip. He ejoyed it that day, but returning home I found he was rarely willing to play with it during his free time (losing out to Legos and PS2 Lego Star Wars). I decided to set acheivement goals on Jedi Math as a condition of other play. Unfortunately, Jedi Math isn't particularly suitable for this use. Certainly, "saving a prisoner" is a nice discrete goal (takes 15-30 minutes, and this accomplishment is verifiable in the user stats). However, the difficulty level is entirely selectable (the child can choose a level that is not challenging). Further, while the game emphasizes fast math calculations, there appears to be no penalty for either pausing the game to count on fingers or asking for the solution via the "hint" button. My son quickly discovered both strategies. There is a "math level" that is tracked in the user stats, but the instructions don't describe how this is calculated. That is, what skill set does a particular math level correspond to?
The newer Leapster2 can upload data to leapfrog.com's "learning path". Supposedly, this allows you to track your child's learning, so my objections might not be valid in the context of a Leapster2. But with the Leapster, unless your child is particularly enthralled by this game, using it as a teaching tool is awkward.
 Great game for your little jedi! December 31, 2008
Mother Bird (New Hampshire, USA)
My 7 year old received this for Christmas and loves it. He says it is cool. There are 4 different games to play: Starfighter Battle, Cover Fire, Telling Time with R2-D2, and Lightsaber Duel. This is a great way for kids to learn and practice their math skills. I would definitely recommend this to other Clone Wars lovers!
 Star Wars Jedi Math good cartridge December 27, 2008
Wendy Wood Matteson (MA)
mY 6 year old son likes this cartridge and enjoys playing with it. I think the learning part is not too obvious but I believe he is learning something as he plays with it. good for 5-6 year olds.
My son loves his new 'video game'! December 26, 2008
justamom35 (Arizona)
My 4 y/o loves this game. He thinks it is a regular video game. He doesn't realize that he is learning while he is playing. He loves Star Wars (he has never seen it) so this game is great.
Great game! October 19, 2008

My son is 3 years old and he is playing the game often. It keeps his attention for extended periods of time, and it is teaching him his numbers! Great purchase!
