Learning Resources Minute Math Electronic Flash Card, Ages 6+, Travel Game

Thank you thank you for getting my youngest to enjoy maths! We have swapped screens for this in the car and he loves it. It’s great you can adjust the difficulty level too…and the size is great for smaller hands, and just slipping in a bag! Great, functional product that makes learning more fun

I bought this to use in the classroom for individual number skills practice in a lower set in a Secondary school and it's very good for that purpose, being simple and intuitive to use. There are two settings; the two bottom windows either add up to or are factors of the top window. The handy thing about this arrangement is that it instantly shows the relationship between operations and their inverses. You can choose level and number range and so it can be tailored to individual needs - lots of correct answers with gradual increasing difficulty - perfect! The only thing that would make it better would be an option to mute the sound and show correct answers in a visual way instead/as well. It's not too noisy, but could be a distraction if used by a pupil in class when others are doing different activity.

This is a really good product. However I would recommend it for children who have prior knowledge of their known mathematical facts and want to consolidate their recall. Also children who are confident in using a part whole model because the shape is triangular. This is how the question will be presented. I personally love it because it’s a non-based internet toy which can keep my 7year old occupied for a while.

This keeps my kids entertained and they love to compete with each other. Simple design that's easy to use and engaging way to practice various number bonds and times tables

The concept is good however the switch to change between functions (+-x ÷) is not working - I can’t get the subtraction and divide sums to work and my 7 year old has given up playing so wasted over £20!

It's okay, a bit quick sometimes and you don't get to choose the sum but what it does is still good. Bit too expensive though for what it is, personally wouldn't pay more than 10 -15 at a stretch if I were to get again and it is quite small, good for hand holding but small number screens.

It does what it says. But display does not light up, so hard to read. And for this price they could have put some (cheap) batteries in, so from the box it’s ready to play. Even better would be to make it rechargeable which is the common product nowadays.

My son loves the maths electronic game, Learning but in a fun way

Dit is goed voor kinderen die graag leren snelrekenen (en hun ouders)

Excelente producto y calidad

Rather than learning math facts through drill and practice flashcards, this is a different method for teaching the fact 'families'. Each child learns differently. This concept of teaching kids to look at the entire fact, rather than just the sum is better for some kids. This it not a 'toy', but kids do have fun with it. My daughter has toted it around back and forth in her backpack. It is durable. The sound can be on or off. (I like that feature.) I also love the different levels it provides. It has provided my daughter with a mental math warm up before she takes her timed math tests in school. I need to stress that this is for school-age children. This is similar to a child learning flashcards. It isn't a 'fun', interactive, points, next level game/toy. Ideas for this item's use: -have a child use this when you can not practice math flash cards with them; -have teachers use it as a learning station during school; -use with older individuals with stroke/dementia; -great mind exercise. ***UPDATE***: I keep seeing this minute math device get poor reviews. I use these so much with kids in school that I thought I could help clarify some things. (1) This is not a toy. It is a way for kids to practice their facts in a different way other than flashcards. In fact, think of these like flash cards. You wouldn't expect kids to be motivated to use them or even think they are fun. This is just a different means of practice. (2) The noise does go off. Hold the ON button down 1/2 way. It will blink quickly indicating the sound is off. It truly is in the instructions. (3) Fact Families or Triangle Math is just another way for kids to learn routine math skills. Some kids learn in a rote manner, where they learn all their multiplication facts and then their division facts. Most the time these kids can carry that over to other areas of math. Some kids need a more global approach. Teaching kids fact families sometimes helps kids see a bigger picture of how all the facts are connected. (4) This is called MINUTE math. It is designed to go quickly just like the timed tests the kids have to take in school. Many classrooms still do the quick 1-2 minute math drill test at the beginning of the day. This is just a way for some kids to warm-up or get used to that way of doing math. (5) Your child may be gifted or advanced. However, please don't complain if your child is younger than the recommended age for this device. Would you also complain about flash cards being to boring? SUMMARY: This is simply another means for a child to learn. I use these as a station all the time because a child can do it independently. I hope this helps answer some of the questions/concerns about the device. I also hope this helps you make an informed decision if this is exactly what you are wanting to purchase for your child.

Small screen and tiny buttons. Child not engaged at all.

Buen juego. Mi hijo lo usó bastante y así entrena operaciones!!
