In Roxie's Math Fish, Roxie, a friendly, animated, talking cat, plays "Go Fish" with a child, but, instead of asking for a number, Roxie asks, "Please give me your cards that equal" and says a number corresponding to the result of an addition, subtraction, multiplication or division equation. Roxie gently guides the child in selecting the correct word card.
When a "Go Fish" game is completed, Roxie then sets up a game of "Roxie's Dice," the classic "Shut The Box" game. As a reward, the child may play one round of the game after each "Go Fish game. The object of Roxie's Dice is to try to close all nine boxes, or as many of the nine boxes as possible, to score the lowest score possible. In this game, children need to be able to add and subtract to determine the best boxes to shut during each roll of the dice.
You can now use your own images as part of this game! In an easy-to-use dialog, open, resize and crop your favorite images to
use in Roxie's picture frame on the front screen, as shown above, and use as many images as you would like for the pictures behind
the memory game. This feature allows our software to be customized with images of your child, pet, art work, etc.
