Editorial Review:
One of the best ways to sharpen your basic maths skills is through repetition, and Professor Kageyama's Maths Training: The Hundred Cell Calculation Method gives you the opportunity to do maths exercises in a new, fun way! Renowned Japanese Professor Hideo Kageyama designed the Hundred Cell method to improve children's school performances. In his method, Professor Kageyama takes a 10-by-10 cell grid and places a single-digit number in front of each row and column. A person filling in the grid solves each cell by calculating the numbers listed at the start of the row and column. The key to the Hundred Cell method is to fill in each cell as fast as possible. The calculation itself may be simple, but the challenge comes in finishing faster each time you fill in a grid. It's this repetition that sharpens your maths skills! Like other mental fitness software in the Touch! Generations series, Professor Kageyama's Maths Training sports a daily training mode with recommended exercises. After training for five days, your level increases and along with it the difficulty level. In addition to the Hundred Cell calculations and daily training, Professor Kageyama's Maths Training features 40 additional exercises based on simple maths skills. After finishing an exercise, you're awarded a medal based on your performance. With the Hundred Cell method, you can refresh your basic maths skills for school or everyday life!
Improve your calculus with DS!
The foundation of Dr Kageyama's Maths Training is 100 square calculations a method conceived by Kageyama Hidea, a Japanese elementary school principal. The DS is held side ways like a book and all answers are written using the stylus.
The key principal of the software is repetition which according to Kageyama stimulates the brain. The main exercise 100 cells maths, consists of 100 hundred simple maths problems combined into a 10 by 10 grid using the numbers at the top and side of the grid. There are however many other exercises, ranging from simple one digit math problems to slightly more complex three digit challenges.

Love it but the motion sickness may win! I bought this game today as maths is a weak point and I've really enjoyed the Brain Training games. This game is everything I expected it to be but after 10 minutes I'm suffering with bad motion sickness! The background is orange with little boxes that move horizontally from left to right on both screens and all the exercises have this behind so there is no escape!! There are options to turn the annoying music and sound effects off but all you have to do to stop that is turn the volume down! You'd of... more info
Compulsive! This game is a fab way to waste a few hours. It soon got compulsive and I found that I didn't want to put it down. I only quit when the batteries were flat!
Highly recommended for those who, like me, are total math freaks.
Fantasic I loved this game. My favorite thing about it is you are absolutely required to 'attend class' and take the tests for a certain amount of time before you advance a level. By that I mean you have to show up at least every day for (at least 4 days in a row) before you advance. There is an option to turn off the sound effects as well as the music. You can also play peer to peer. There is division, multiplication, subtraction and addition (at least only on lvl 1 there is) If you have trouble with maths... more info
A Must for all primary school children today. I bought this game because I was struggling to help my daughter with maths homework. I have finished school 30 years ago! I figured as my daughter loves her ds this game would fit in well. I also have a private tutor once a week, and she thought this game was a great idea and would benefit all children of Primary school age. She was appalled that schools are not teaching kids their times tables like they used to. When they do they;re only teaching up to tens, not twelves like we used to.This game... more info
