The premise, in the publisher's words

JumpStart 1st Grade Math, later released as JumpStart Math for First Graders, is a game released in 1997 that focuses on teaching a first grade math curriculum. Frankie loves to mess up his backyard, especially by digging holes for bones. But this disturbs the bugs who inhabit the yard, so as punishment, the Queen Bee shrinks Frankie down to their size. As penance, he can play activities that involve assisting the backyard bugs in various ways. This enables him to earn back some of his bones, which he can now use to make staircases leading him to the magical dog tags he needs to return to normal size.
