- Waste of time
I bought this for my son (6) and daughter (8).
The program is very interactive but you will waste countless hours just wandering around Mia's world.If you spend 1 hour playing it you will really only spend about 10 minutes really learning anything useful.It is extremely frustrating to figure out how to get from place to place.The designers obviously built this program to show off their skills but failed to really make it a productive use of time.
Bottom line.Don't ... Read More
Rating: - successful mix of entertainment and quality education?????
I'm not happy with the manner in which they executed the story-based gameplay.Your child's progress to the next segment is dependant on your child laboriously clicking to figure out what to do next.Even when you're certain where you need to go, it is a chore to walk Mia to the next location.Would be great it they had some software patches to make the "click boxes" for certain targets larger so Mia does not walk aimlessly into a circle when we're trying to make her perform an action on a item or ...

Rating: - Frustrating
We have had this game for a while, and bought it because of the many reviews. However, my daughter and I find it extremely frustrating. Even when we know what the task is to be done, we often cannot figure out how to do it. The math puzzles, when we come across them, are fine, but most of the time is spent figuring out where to click for something. This game is very linear, so if you can't figure one thing out, there's no way to move to another task where you might eventually better understand the gestalt ... Read More

- Good Education Software for Mac OS X Leopard
I was led to the Mia's Math Adventure, because all indications were it would work well with the Mac OS X Leopard operating system and it was highly rated for educational content. Both assertions have proven true in our use. My eight-year old daughter love's the game and the math and logic activities are a challenge, but the story line and the "adventure" aspects of the game also keep her engaged. As far as performance with the Mac operating system, this is the second Kutoko product we have owned and both work ... Read More
Rating: - Mia's Math is DIFFERENT!
Mia's math is an adventure game with an occasional math-based activity thrown in.The math skills are quirky, not your usual drill-and-kill practice.It really requires some higher-level thinking.I'm using it with third-grade students, and they are frequently challenged.My only complaint is that the user-interface is too simple.You can save games, but there's no way (that I've found so far) to jump to certain areas, other than restoring a saved game.Mia gets irritated if you linger too long somewhere. ...
