Math Apprentice
MathApprentice is an educational software for kids. It is targeted at kids between grades 4 - 7 but can also be used by higher standard children. The goals of this software are to connect math with real world careers, introduce students to more advanced mathematical ideas and provide additional opportunities to apply math concepts they have already learned. According to developmental theorist Jean Piaget, children within the ages of 2-7 are at the Preoperational Stage of Development. In this stage, perception dominates children's thinking. The name of this stage comes from the idea of "operation", or mental activity. Math Apprentice is a great software that can help with these mental processes in children.

i did try this software and it was fun and very interactive. As a parent, i'll definately introduce it to my daughter.
great for encouraging children to do math. this interactive software makes learning fun and enjoyable. it was also easily accessible and opened quickly. my nephew spent hours behind this.
This looks as though it would be of great benefit to students as it allows them to connect math with the real world, like you said. It will definitely aid in their critical thinking abilities.
