This is the second series of a popular educational program for learning arithmetic. Presented in a whole new direction, Mathematica II targets 10- to 12-year-olds. Using animation to bring formulas and equations to life, the program helps children enjoy learning calculation methods which may seem boring to them in classes. Rather than just practicing rote memorization, children can experience the fascination of mathematics as they get to the correct answers by trial and error. Together with their parents, children can now have fun learning math.
