Droom is an excellent mathematical adventure from the Humberside Microelectronics in Education Centre. The story is about Henry the frog who is really a prince, and the task is to free the princess so that she can turn Henry back into a prince. The storybook accompanying the program introduces the characters and sets the scene. To progress through the adventure, the children must solve several mathematical problems and puzzles.

Children can word on one part of the program at a time or work through the whole adventure. Also teachers can link it to other activities, leading the children from maths into other areas of the curriculum. It is a very flexible program in that it need not be finished in one session - it is written in such a way that you can dip into it whenever you like. The accompanying booklet includes many activities to cover away from the computer, and a list of follow-up ideas. A case study is also included to show how the program can be used with special needs children.

The supplementary disc includes several programs which can be used for follow-up.
