Why it rocks:
You get to use a computer! It is interactive and fun, and it helps you get better at math, and visualize! It helps you do anything from addition, subtraction and more! It is really engaging for the imaginative kid. Then here comes the sucky parts.
Why it absolutely sucks:
The lessons at Grade 5 onward are like the math version of DARK SOULS. You get a overly hard problem, and when you get it wrong, IT GOES "That's not it." WHAT'S NOT IT??? My mistake? AM I SUPPOSED TO LEARN MY MISTAKE? And when you make the mistake, it "helps" you understand how to do it, which is fine I guess,
but when it says "Now try it on your own!", IT STARTS YOU ALL OVER AGAIN!! What's even worse? Sprint has no mercy to keep you engaged, and if you lose, NO MERCY! GAME OVER, SCREW YOU! It only has 90 seconds to complete it! THAT IS LIKE 1 minute in a HALF! That is enough time to complete a level in Mario! That is enough time to drink a cup of water! NOT IN MY LIFE WE HAD A GAME WERE WE HAD TO FIND THE TRIFORCE IN UNDER A MINUTE!! Even worse, it has very child-pandering things in the Wild Cards section. I'M NOT KIDDING!
Wild Cards:
These are the videos and images that you play for ONE DAY. THAT'S IT. NO OTHER OPTIONS.
Some of the videos are pretty fine, like Math Laughs: Vanishing One and Zearn Time, but the other ones, they are outright GARBAGE. Like for example Rolling 9s. It is annoying to listen to, and I just go insane when ANYONE LISTENS TO IT! but not really because i'm a really calm guy. But, it is really annoying, because it repeats "MY 9 OH OH MY 9 oH oH My 9 Oh oH" then it really gets on my NERVES when it's repeated constantly! It's really repetitive, that FOR some reason, the song makes
ME WANT TO INJECT A KITCHEN KNIFE INTO MY HEART. And what's worse? They tried REALLY HARD TO MAKE MEMES. I LEGIT FOUND THIS IN ZEARN'S WEBSITE FILES, and IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY.
WHAT THE HECK MAN??? You know what? Forget it. I wanted to throw myself into the Atlantic Ocean anyways.
But, here is some benefits to Zearn.
1. It is really easy and actually helps you to complete your missions when you're stuck.
2. Sprint provides a very awesome challenge to see if you complete all of it.
3. It mixes the right amount of fun and math in a blender.
and 4. It is really REALLY FUN. You should check it out if you would like a math challenge.
