Need to brush up on basic math skills? Nintendo's latest Touch Generations game is here to help. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/previewArt.cfm?artid=17524 Correlating strongly with Nintendo's Brain Age and Big Brain Academy games, Personal Trainer: Math seeks to improve basic math abilities with fun and rewarding games. Personal Trainer: Math features the Hundred-Cell Method pioneered by the in-game host, Hideo Kageyama. This method requires players to do back-to-back, fast-paced arithmetic problems, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Starting with a 10x10 grid, with numbers populated along the top and left sides, players will need to perform the specified function and fill in the corresponding grid space. The exercise continues until all of the one hundred cells are filled.
Players will be asked to perform daily math drills in order to keep their skills fresh. The game will track attendance to the "Daily Test" and report this statistic to the player, along with speed and accuracy statistics. Excellent performance in any of the game's more than forty drills will net the player medals, which are also stored for the player to view anytime.
Up to sixteen players can practice their math skills together with just a single DS game card. Every player will be presented an instance of the 100-Cell quiz, and from there it is a race to the finish.
Personal Trainer: Math is available now at North American retailers.
