This is a great interactive tool for 5th graders.  It provides varied ways to interact as well as helps to illustrate key concepts.  I also like that there is a short assessment at the end that gives instant feedback for students.

The objective is clearly stated in on the first slide and the menu of options is easy to understand. I think this will be a great visual review for studets as they work independtly.

Technical Remarks:

I found some of the "special effects" did not work unless you hit the object in just the right spot. I also felt like it was hard to figure out how to get out of certain pages if you decided you did not want to practice that content anymore. I was also confused as to whether or not I got some of the answers right on the practice.  It was not self-correcting, nor did it make a sound to tell me it was wrong.
