Toys and Games Reviews of Educational Insights MathShark
Customer Review: screen is a real problem
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like this. The screen is just so sub par. The kids will pull it out occasionally to use as a calculator but that's only because they don't have another one. However bad you think the screen might be it is probably worse. This quality of screen would have been complained about by reviewers 20 years ago because it does cut things off and make them unreadable. Today it makes no sense to sell a screen like this when people are use to so much better. Also a rubber button promptly fell off and is still floating around the house somewhere.Customer Review: No customer service.

My son used this for a little bit, nothing exceptional, but it worked as an electronic flashcard.
One day he came home from school and teh battery cover was gone. Looked everywhere;couldn't locate. I contacted Educational Insights, completeley willing to pay for a new battery cover.
They said bluntly, they could not help me. At all. The HAD no battery covers, they said. Thanks and goodbye.
I would never purchase from any compnay that has such poor product service. Buy a math game for a PC or DS instead.
Customer Review: NO MORE ANTIQUATED FLASH CARDS
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had the Math Shark for about a year, and my 2nd grade son plays it on the 15 min ride home from school each day it has helped him TREMENDOUSLY, his Math grades have gone from Low B's and High C's to Strong A's!!! I love the Levels option, the built in calculator and the fact that a missed problem is repeated until it is answered correctly! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 Stars is because the Display Led needs improvement, it isn't as Bright as it could be, other than that, the Math Shark is invaluable and well worth the price!Customer Review: Math Shark Has Teeth
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Math Shark for my son who needs to practice math facts. I had previously used it in a school where I taught, so I knew the product well. The best thing about it is that it is well, a Math Shark. It's difficult to make this kind of learning FUN, so we do our best. The nicest thing is that it times you, so you can beat yourself, good for developing automaticity with math facts. There are levels too, which help to judge what you know and what you need to know. Least likeable feature is the difficulty of Level 1 fractions.Customer Review: Educational plus
Summary: 5 Stars
The Math Shark is not really a toy, but a tool. Basically it is electronic flash cards. My son didn't want to do traditional math flash cards and he is more willing to do this form instead, so it is well worth the money. Not sure it would make a great birthday present since it is not "fun" but might be something elementary teachers may like for their classrooms or parents for their homes since it has addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and percentages. It can be used for multiple grades and grade levels.
