FISH LAKE

This is an educational game. If you know that, you'll probably really like it because it is a fun way to learn fractions in real problems and Native American history, while running around a virtual world jumping over snakes, spearing fish and canoeing through rapids. If you DIDN'T know it was an educational game, you might be annoyed, "Hey, what is this video about the Ojibwe doing here?" You'll actually see how the Ojibwe lived by moving around in the woods, fishing, etc. in the game. If you haven't used fractions since middle school, this is a good brush up. If you are in middle school now, hey, you're in luck. I wish they had this when I was in school.

My child loved this game. Math has always been an area he struggled in and doing homework is always a pain. This game made math fun. It includes practice with elementary level math such as multiplication, fractions, and number lines. Every problem has a little story behind it and is often introduced with a video. My child really liked the water challenges where he got to catch fish and direct his own boat. The Native American history lessons are also a plus. As a parent, would highly recommend.

This is an amazing educational game. I got it for my 9-yr-old and she absolutely loves it. While it's making her use math, she doesn't see it that way since all of the problems tie into advancing within the game. The gameplay itself is fun, and the graphics are solid. I love that she's actually learning fractions while playing a game and enjoying doing it! Strongly recommend.
