Math Rabbit is a 1986 video game that serves as a spin-off to the Reader Rabbit edutainment series. It was made by The Learning Company for DOS and Apple II. A Deluxe version was released in 1993 for DOS, Macintosh and Windows 3.x. Then in 1997 the game was remade for Windows and Macintosh under the title "Reader Rabbit's Math 1". The final remake for Windows and Macintosh in 1999 was titled "Reader Rabbit's Math Ages 4-6".
The game was originally designed by Teri Perl and programmed by Aaron Weiss. Upon the release of the Deluxe edition, Bill Dinsmore, The Learning Company president and chief executive officer, said: "With the release of 'Reader Rabbit 1' and 'Math Rabbit for Windows,' we now offer five Windows educational software products that help to develop important learning skills".
The original art of Math Rabbit was done by Analee Nunan. For Math Rabbit Deluxe 256 color VGA graphics were applied.
The original music and sound composition was done by Teri Perl and Aaron Weiss. For Math Rabbit Deluxe, Adlib soundtracks were composed.
The game takes place in a circus and teaches addition, subtraction, and counting in four different games; each game has multiple difficulty settings. The game is for ages 4–7. The following four games are:
1. Clown's Counting Games - The player is required to count with a number as a guide to pitch the tone of the musical instrument. 2. Tightrope Game - The player has to help Reader Rabbit match a picture of objects with a displaying number and discard the pictures that don't match. 3.
