Summary
One of the coolest applications of video games is learning. Computer games can be fun, social and they can even occasionally teach you something. Jowood Productions latest edutainment title is M & M’s The Lost Formulas. This game features Yellow as he tries to find the hidden candy formulas that are located somewhere in the M & M factory. You see the little Mini’s were left in charge and they thought it would be funny to hide the candy plans, but things have gone horribly wrong, it’s up to you and Yellow to put things right.
M & M’s The Lost Formulas is essentially a game based around learning mathematics. It is primarily aimed at 7 to 11 year olds but it really depends on the skill level of your child. If you play this game with your younger children, you can teach them how to solve mathematical problems without them realising they are learning. Older kids will benefit from revision and The Lost Formulas will help build their skills and confidence.
It’s amazing how much kids want to learn when it’s fun, and a videogame is a perfect medium, a balanced measure of work and play. The Lost Formula is a graphically advanced game for an educational title and that makes it even more appealing to kids. A nice feature is how the game adapts itself to the skill level of your child. A few wrong answers will lower the difficulty and answering several questions correctly will make the game harder. This dynamically adjusting skill level is similar to personal tuition and takes the frustration out of your personal teaching efforts.
Additionally, M & M’s teaches little you hints and tricks to help you remember how to solve harder problems. Overall, M & M’s is a game that can help your grades and can be beneficial in later life. Who said learning can’t be fun?
