After viewing the Math Quest, I would use this software in my classroom.  The graphics are excellent and the activities are geared toward allowing the students to apply themselves to get the answer and not just play for fun.
 Some ways that I would use this software would be for extended practice on a certain math operation and to let students practice individually to enhance their math skills.  I may use it as a reward for students for applying themselves and successfully answering a certain math question for the day.  I would have the kids attention because the software includes Disney characters and maybe knowing the Disney characters could lead us into another activity, such as language, art, etc.  For language, the characters of the software could help remind the students of a story and then they could write their own story.  For art, the software characters could inspire the students to draw pictures of the characters, to maybe challenge their drawing ability.
