This Pirate Adventure is great fun and easy to use.  My son has been using it for about a year (since he was 3).  The theme engaged him and the questions were pitched at an excellent level: accessible with an element of challenge.

Key concepts covered include:

• Ordering numbers
• Adding and taking away
• Fractions
• Time
• Matching
• Counting
• Missing numbers
• Number bonds

To further inspire and engage there is an element of adventure and continuation.  Every four or five questions you collect a letter.  Eventually these letters spell a word which gives you a ‘password’.  The player can then choose a ‘toy’ from the treasure cave which is put in a treasure chest.

Educational value

• Great to introduce Maths
• A supportive tool to back up teaching of key mathematical concepts in Reception

Ease of use

• Lots of guidance when he was 3
• Independent use when he was 4 and learning key concepts at school
