the leap frog system...my kids have leapsters(my answer to the games) and they love them and they have no clue that cosmic math is teachimg them the things they need to learn!
I would appreciate suggestions for decent computer games or PC software that does a good job of covering the basics of math and/or science?
I had not even considered the various options (software, gaming systems, online). So, thanks for your suggestions! I will check them out... including the keyboarding for me!

Good Morning - Not sure if you want online sites or suggestions for cd's -
We are currently homeschooling our youngest and these are some of the free online sites I use with my kids:
These are all great resources I use with my preschooler and her friends:

Last year, my daughter attened kindergarten at a catholic school and she was 'exposed' to keyboarding - we have taken this a bit further and now she is typing with ALL her fingers........

we use Jump Start games.
I've always liked the Jump Start series. Most of these are by grade levels and contain all subjects. Reader Rabbit also makes some math software that's very good.
on the internet, thatquiz.com It's for many different levels of math. It quizes you, you can race yourself. It helped my girls learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But it also has fractions all the way up to calculus! It's a great website, I highly recommend it.
Reader Rabbit has some good math programs for the PC. They have different levels beginning at pre-school and up. My son loves math (and reading) and really enjoyed these. It is set up like a game and some are like mazes that you need to go through. He is in the 2nd grade and doing 5th grade math. Not sure if the games had anything to do with that he just really loves to learn and challenge himself.
