Personal Trainer: Math
Personal Trainer: Math, développé par Jupiter Corporation et édité par Nintendo, est sorti sur Nintendo DS le 13 janvier 2007. Ce jeu de type quiz et trivia propose un entraînement mathématique jouable en tenant la console verticalement comme un livre, avec un support pour les gauchers comme pour les droitiers, l'écran de message affichant les exercices pendant que l'utilisateur note ses réponses au stylet sur l'écran tactile. Il permet également de jouer contre jusqu'à quinze autres utilisateurs de la Nintendo DS via l'option DS Download Play ou avec plusieurs cartouches. La presse a salué l'abondance de contenu mathématique, le magazine n-Revolution UK évoquant « A treat, albeit a masochistic and frustrating one », tandis que Gameplayer relevait que l'on obtient « a lot of maths for your money » grâce à la variété des puzzles. L'ensemble affiche une note moyenne agrégée de 55,00.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A treat, albeit a masochistic and frustrating one. [Issue#21, p.89] »
« You get a lot of maths for your money in Maths Training. The randomised content across the dozens of different puzzle types should be enough to keep one busy (if not amused) for some time. »
« As I say, for its target market, PKMT could be a really good thing, provided parents use it and, more than that, make sure their kids use it. »
« Calling Maths Training a game could be stretching it a little, but anyone who needs to brush up on their maths skills or enjoys the idea of small daily maths quizzes will get a lot of value out of this game. »
« Maths Training won't make you smarter, but it will make you quicker at solving simple sums. If that sounds like something you'd like to add to your CV then pick the game up. But don't expect anything more - maths isn't fun. It's just maths. »
« This math-based minigame collection works well as a revision tool for reinforcing what you already know, but is unlikely to teach any new skills. »
« As effective as the Hundred Cell method may be, it would have been good to see more fun exercises included instead of just yet more black-and-white sums. The exercises are too simple for adults. »
« Maths Training looks good on paper and has a few good ideas, but forgets the importance of making learning fun. »
