The software allows children ages 6-12 to practice important early math skills by using challenging, fast-paced video game play. "Master the Basics, robots are running the galaxy, so players must fire up their energy gloves, hop on their space cycles, blast through space and master their math skills to save the universe and defend the human race. They will defeat the robots by solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems, zipping and zooming through thousands of practice equations. Speed and accuracy will be increased as they play through three action-packed worlds and eight levels of math difficulty, gaining the confidence it takes to master math basics."

The educational software helps students gain speed and accuracy as they learn basic math facts, and enables players to practice skills such as recognizing fact families, solving problems, and finding equivalents. Automatic progress tracking also helps parents and teachers provide additional instruction to help users gain mastery of specific concepts.
