Based on the book of the same title by Rod Clements. Help Henry and his dog, Frank, to guess the number of jelly beans in a contest in order to win a trip to Hawaii. New locations (such as the bedroom or the store) open as you progress in solving. Here are presented three levels of math problems: basic operations (+, -, *, /); composite basic operations; percents and fractions. You guide Henry and his dog, Frank, through the neighborhood in search of mathematical word problems, which, when solved correctly, provide a clue about the number of jellybeans. Henry provides a notebook for keeping track of clues, and a calculator for solving the word problems. In addition to the jelly bean task, there are four stand-alone games located in throughout the neighborhood: The Math Machine, Concentration, Magic Numbers, and the Geomotron. Some of these games may be familiar from non-computer settings. All four games encourage strategy and planning. The first three focus more specifically on number, arithmetic, and computation, while the fourth focuses on spatial relationships. The game also features many entertaining click-ons, including some fun old movie clips. |
