Learn Math the Fun Way!
Embark on dangerous rescue missions as Anakin, R2-D2, C3PO and other jedi knights to free members of the Republic imprisoned on federation cruisers and increase your jedi ranking. Fly to enemy ships, engage in starflight battles and duel with light sabers while learning basic mathematics and telling time skills. The order of the galaxy depends on your success! Leapster2 players can connect online for extra activities and rewards. And with the LeapFrog Learning Path, parents can see what their child is learning.
Learning Skills
Time Concepts
Time Concepts - Babies quickly get in to a routine of milk, play sleep before they learn that clocks measure time and that there is a pattern to the days of the week. Concepts of time (now, soon, yesterday, next week, this summer) and times of day (morning, night) allow children to describe the past, present and future.
Telling Time
Telling Time - Children understand time concepts (morning, yesterday) before they learn that clocks measure time. By school, they understand hours and minutes and can learn to read a clock.
Number Recognition
Number Recognition - To begin their study of math, children must distinguish numerals from letters and shapes and understand that numbers are symbols for amounts.
Sequencing
Sequencing - Even toddlers can often recite number names in order, but the ability to compare and order numbers in sequence indicates a practical application of number concepts.
Addition
Addition - Once children know that numbers are symbols for objects (2 stands for two cars) they learn to count sets, or groups of objects, to find sums. Finally, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals and added together in equations.
Subtraction
Subtraction - The inverse of addition is subtraction - to take away objects and tell how many are left. Once children grasp subtraction, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals in equations.
