Is anybody familiar with Kageyama method?

Is anybody familiar with Kageyama method?
I asked this question on another thread, but just wanted more people to see it. It’s a 100 number board…?

kage what? never even heard of it! This is why I love brillkids, i learn something new everyday!

No but I must now go Google that.

If I’m reading this correctly it is more of a drill type program. I see that they have made this into a Nintendo Ds game. I would be interested in getting that for my younger son.

From my quick search, it does seem that it’s basically only available to the masses on the Nintendo platform. Is this correct?

Here’s what I found on one of the site:

Hideo Kageyama is a real-life Professor at the Center for Research and Educational Development in Higher Education at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. He is also the deputy headmaster of Ritsumeikan Primary School and a member of the Central Education Council of the Japanese Ministry of Education.

“I was wracking my brains over how to get people to practice the 100-Cell Math method in an easy-to-use and effective way when I discovered the Nintendo DSâ„¢. Immediately, I knew that this was what I was looking for. It offered the possibility of self-assessment, saving and displaying one’s records, setting puzzle difficulties, and providing the fun that would motivate users to keep coming back.” -Hideo Kageyama[/i]
