Toys and Games Reviews of Learning Resources Math Mat Challenge Game
Customer Review: Great Activity to Learn Counting and Addition & Subtraction Facts
Summary: 4 Stars
My little guys (K5) really likes this game. It lets them MOVE! As most parents of little boys know, little boys need that and it's good for them. As a teacher and parent, I am always on the look out for new ideas and games to play with kids that allow them to move and have fun. My little guy also has a Leapster which he adores. Between the Leapster, this mat, and games with mom, he has most of his addition and subtraction facts down AND he understands what he is doing.
I recommend having your child stand on the outside of the mat under the number 5. Then the kids can run over and pick their number. Also, there is a Repeat Question button if you didn't catch the question. The only thing I'd like to see them change is better audio quality. Mine is several years old though so maybe they have improved that.
Customer Review: Great Learning Toy with some Comments
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great toy. My very active five year old loves this game. He can play and move and review his numbers and adding and subtracting.
Two comments about this math mat though-
1. The numbers face outwards and the child stands in the middle of the numbers. When my son first started playing on this it took him some time to figure out which numbers were which. The numbers need to face the child.
2. The restart button is on the inside of the circle where the child stands and is easily stepped on. This leads to frustration sometimes if the child is not careful because they step on this restart button and the game starts over.
Otherwise, this is an excellent way to review number recognition, adding and subtracting.
Enjoy. Well worth the money.
Customer Review: Great for active boys!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this product for my second grade son who has been having difficulty memorizing addition and subtraction facts, and it has been perfect for him. He loves the challenge of it, and it is especially good for little boys who are active, because it is much more fun that sitting down with flashcards or even a handheld math review game. He has made great strides in his ability and also his enthusiasm about math. His little brother also enjoys it, because he can use the number identification mode to reinforce what he has learned in preschool. My husband grinned at me the other day as the boys were fighting over whose turn it was to use the Math Mat, and said, "Great purchase, Honey!" That says it all...Customer Review: Fun Toy, but has its flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I got it for my nephew and he loved it. He was happy to stomp around on the mat.
It is very colorful and the voice asking the questions is just about loud enough.
A few Cons: 1) Picture gives an impression of it being about 40% larger than it is, hence the boy inadvertently steps on the repeat the question or restart portion sometimes, although this could be an advantage if you have smaller space; 2) As in other reviews, it was confusing for the boy to see the numbers upside down, since he is inside the mat and sees the numbers in a strange way; 3) The voice could be louder, although it's fine generally.
Overall, though, I think it's a good product and I would recommend it.
Customer Review: WHAT A GREAT "TOY"
Summary: 5 Stars
We just got this two days ago. It is a great toy. My 5 yr old was up at 7:00 this morning playing it! My 2 1/2 yr old even plays it because they have a number recognition mode. It's great for my 5 yr old and I to play together and see who can get to the answer first. He loves doing kartwheels while landing his hand on the right answer. Good Job Learning Resources! Two notes: this math goes up to the end of second grade (18 + what = 22 and 20 - what = 12) and as mentioned in a previous review, it is difficult to hear when there is anyone talking in the room, but the is a repeat button. Therefore I would say it is for 2 1/2 - 7 yr olds.
