 extrememly fast moving - not for too young January 8, 2008
I bought this leapster for my son & nephew, both are 6 1/2, both are very adept at quickly learning new games. Both found this game too fast moving. They simply could not keep up with it and quickly became frustrated. Perhaps better for someone 8 +.
A great way to learn math January 4, 2007

I bought this for my 7 year old second grader. He loves baseball, and really liked the feature that enabled him to set up his team. My favorite part is that for one of the games you hit the ball farther the faster you answer the question (his school is big on how quickly they can answer basic addition/subtraction facts). His sister (age 4) can also play the game on it's easiest level.
 Favorite Leapster Game August 15, 2005

This is my 6 year olds favorite Leapster Game (and we have a LOT of them). It's a great tool for teaching them their basic math skills while having fun playing at the same time. I have a 4 year old that also owns a Leapster and this is the game that gets fought over the most because they both want to play it at the same time. I definately recommend it for a parent looking to get their baseball fan started learning math.
I was excited about this game but my kid doesn't like it. November 7, 2004

My first grade son loves his Leapster and every other cartridge that he owns but he just doesn't like this one. I was hoping that Math Baseball would be a fun way for him to practice his beginning math skills but it hasn't turned out that way. The way the rules are re-explained is annoying for both him and me and even when you answer a problem correctly it doesn't insure that you won't hit a pop up that is caught or pitch a ball that gets hit. I guess thats the way the real world works but my son found it disillusioning and it only further contributed to his lack of interest in this game. My kid loves to learn. He loves to read. He loves to draw. We make up math games at home. I am always looking for a way to keep him stimulated but also encourage him to have a little fun. This game just didn't do it for him.
much more fun than using flashcards! August 24, 2004

Overview (from the parent guide): Math Baseball supports number-fact drills through 12 in each of the following operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Players select the correct answer to flash card-like equations that appear on the screen. By choosing the right answer from two answer choices as quickly as they can, players advance the game. If they click on an incorrect answer, however, their team loses the play. It's a fast-paced game that increases in speed and difficulty as players answer questions correctly and slows down with easier problems if they answer incorrectly to allow more time for mental computation. The faster they solve equations, the faster and farther the ball travels. If players answer too slowly, the opposing team might catch their ball - but if they answer quickly, players can hit a single, double, triple, or even a home run!

I hesitated in purchasing this game for my 4 year old daughter because it seemed to be geared more toward elementary grades. Much of it is too difficult for her, but there is one area where she has fun. The T-ball section doesn't operate on a timer so she can take as long as she needs to count baseballs or figure out easy addition or subtraction problems.
I had my 11 year old son try this cartridge to see if he thought the rest of the game was fun (even if it was too easy for him). He had fun for a little while, but after a few innings and a score of 40-0 he became bored. It also didn't take him long to realize that there are only 2 choices for answers and he has a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer without even looking at the math question.
The only real negative item that I saw with this program for children in the recommended age range is that it only saves one team and one game created by the user. If you have more than one child using this cartridge, they will be overwriting each other's saved games and teams.
Overall, I think this cartridge is a fun way for children to memorize their math tables.
