Blue's 123 Time Activities
Hybrid CD-ROM (Humongous)
Ages 3-6
Blue's 123 Time Activities is a multi-level math program which has been a proven hit with ComputED's kids. Children recognize and enjoy the popular interface with Steve and Blue as they explore the big backyard fair and engage in the many skills-building activities that are offered: Shovel and Pail (counting on a number line, simple math operations, story problems), Mr. Salt & Mrs. Pepper (logical thinking, sorting, classifying, sets and subsets), Tink's Train Ride (counting, simple operations, prediction and evaluation), Baby Bear's Card Game (strategy, counting, matching, shapes and quantities), Bell's Souvenir Stand (estimation, hypothesis testing, weight and measurement), and Pattern Parade (sequencing, ordering, shape recognition and symmetry).
Rewards provide added incentive to complete activities - earn Blue dollars, then redeem them at the Cash Register's Prize Tent (adding skills in counting money and addition). A very kid-friendly program.
