From Lena, a professional tutor in Marietta:

My student liked the game, but I made the fatal mistake of going 10 rounds with a 4 year old! That’s way too long!
I was enjoying myself so much, I forgot about young attention spans! … But on Friday I brought the game but didn’t get a chance to play it with her, and she was sad
when I left saying “We forgot to play the game!”
So that’s a great sign.


From Kimberly, a home school mom of four in Buford:

As a home school Mom with children ages 3, 5, 6 and 9, I have found these Math games to be very helpful.  It is very true that huge numbers of people, young and old alike, do not know their math facts from 1-10 very well and indeed still count on their fingers! 

We've been using these games, mostly with my older two children, for about a year and a-half.  My 9 year old definitely knows his facts well and this has given him a wonderful springboard from which to learn multiplication and division, fractions, placement values, etc.  My 6 year can now work with numbers adding up to 10 without using her fingers at all. 
She can also "find the missing number" in simple equations
such as 10 = 8 + __ , or 3 + __ = 10. 

I must say, though, that my favorite benefit of these games so far is with my 5 year old.  When he began using the games (and he only played them maybe 6 times in the last year and a half) , he did not know his number symbols.  I had tried flash cards with him to no avail.  He is not a visual learner only, like alot of people are.  By using the games and employing tactile, auditory and visual altogether, he not only learned his symbols up to 10, but now walks around saying things like, "Hey, Mom, is four and four eight?  Is five and five ten?  Is two and three five?"  Pretty awesome, I think!!

These games are fun!  Roll the dice and compete to see who gets the most the most!  My daughter loves the Bingo games.  Both of my older ones love to play the dice that have the largest numbers on them and add on more and more dice to make the numbers larger and larger, therefore learning to add three and four numbers!

The possibilities with all of the die, chips, Bingo cards, and games are endless...and my kids love making up their own games, thus learning even more.  We can "do our math" for the day by playing these games.  They are learning without the  tedium and boredom often accompanied in more traditional settings.

I highly recommend these games.
