Math Rabbit is a 1986 video game that serves as a spin-off to the Reader Rabbit edutainment series. It was made by The Learning Company for DOS and Apple II. A Deluxe version was released in 1993 for DOS, Macintosh, and Windows 3.x. Then in 1997, the game was remade for Windows and Macintosh under the title "Reader Rabbit's Math 1". The final remake for Windows and Macintosh in 1998 was titled "Reader Rabbit's Math Ages 4-6", with a personalized version released in 1999.
Gameplay
The game takes place in a circus and teaches addition, subtraction, and counting in four different games; each game has multiple difficulty settings. The game is for ages 4–7. The four games are:
- Clown's Counting Games - The player is required to count with a number as a guide to pitch the tone of the musical instrument.
- Tightrope Game - The player has to help Reader Rabbit match a picture of objects with a displaying number and discard the pictures that don't match.
- Circus Train Game - The player has complete a sequence of numbers each being added to a particular number.
- Mystery Matching Game - The player has to match turn over cards and find matching pictures of items and corresponding numbers.
From "Math Rabbit Deluxe" onwards, the games were retitled "Calliope Counting Game", "Tightrope Show", "Sea Lion Show", and "Balloon Matching Game," respectively, but the game objectives and rules remained the same.
