Move over Dr Kawashima there is a new Professor in town! Yes, Professor Kageyama is about to hit your DS screen with his Maths Training programme. Due out next week this ‘game’ is similar to Dr Kawashima in the sense that it is meant to be played for a short time each day. As the player develops their profile the game adjusts to their level and opens new games to challenge them. Have a look:

This game will most definitley merit exploration to see how if, and how best, it can be applied in the class setting. It remains to be seen if Professor Kageyama is as engaging as Dr Kawashima and whether the game play facilitates the same kind of desire to self-improve in the learner. Just a few more days until it’s released and then we can talk about how numerate we all are!!! Let us know how you get on with it if you do buy a copy. Your thoughts about its application in class are also most welcome.
