The big four of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are present while the questions can be customised to different levels depending on the skills of the user. Unfortunately, what is effectively a solid program is let down by disappointing presentation. Although you have the choice of a bird or airplane scheme, this amounts only to a few pictures on the menu screen, while the poor people using the 'adult mode' get no piccies whatsoever. The activites themselves are also somewhat disappointing, highly unoriginal and featuring a ludicrious 1000 second timer which is sure to bore even the most enthusastic player. Oh, and the 'help' option simply gives the answer!? Although not as fun as it could be (or many other math programs available), Math Flight does the basics right, and has a good degree of flexibility - for only $10, this is still good value.
