Mouse Island from d2 (19.99) is a fun-packed adventure game featuring 38 maths-based puzzles, spread over three levels of difficulty.
The children can visit seven great locations: the ship, the lagoon, Aztec ruins, the dungeon, the old inn, the spooky forest or the dragon's cave.
The three main characters - Roly, Red Mouse and Blue Mouse - complete tasks involving matching shapes, recognising numbers, counting and addition. The aim of the game is to help the mice replace the missing parts of their ship and each activity is either linked to an early learning goal or a KS1 National Curriculum objective. It could be used individually or in groups to reinforce and develop basic numeracy skills. I am sure Mouse Island will appeal across the whole of the key stage.
