My daughter enjoyed the Jump Start material. I am using it for Summer Vacation review. There were 3 disks.....one for 5'th, one for 6'th and one for field trips. She is using the 5'th and field trip versions now. One problem we had with the field trip is that if you didn't complete a task and needed to exit before it was done you would have to restart the entire field trip again...using a lot of time. The first crossword puzzle was difficult to complete....even for an adult, so have adult supervision to help or students may become frustrated.

We are a homeschooling family with three boys ages 10, 8 and 6 and have enjoyed almost all of the Jumpstart programs we have purchased in the past. (We own Toddler up to 6th grade) and have used them as supplements to other curriculums. My 10 yr and 8 yr old son both enjoy this game, although my 10 yr old son complains that the beginning crossword puzzle is very "tedious". He says once you get past that part, the games are fun, engaging and challenging. My 6 yr old son also enjoys watching his older brothers play. I would recommend this program.

We love the Jump Start Series and Jump Start Advanced 5th and 6th Grade lives up to all its predessors. My 5th grader is at the top of her class with the help of these programs.

In tradition with it's previous grade Jumpstart Advanced bundles, this 5th grade package offers the lure of "gaming" while teaching essential skills. Through investigations in rare art, geography, and math as well as history and science, the fifth grade student must acquire the clues necessary to solve a mystery in order to "beat the game". The games are up to date with fifth grade interest in some areas, offering virtual skateboarding and other treats to keep the mind tempted. The only trouble I ran into while running the program at my home Daycare was the occasional program glitch concerning math answers; the right answer would not be accepted by the program and would result in a stalemate between user and PC. Other than that, a purchase well worth the money!

Very unhappy with this software product. It will not install onto a Mac G4 Power book using OSX. When contacting "Knowledge Adventure" tech support they stated that they were aware of the problem about installation with some Macs but said there was no way to fix the problem and I should return it for a refund. However, as I learned with this bad purchase software is usually not returnable once opened.
