Title: Great math tool!
Review: The lightweight design of the product fits perfectly in my child’s hands and is fun and easy to use. This is one of the few things that we use EVERY DAY! Bought a different brand for my other child and both prefer to use this one. It’s been dropped on hardwood floors several times and works perfectly without issue. Essential to strengthen math skills.

Title: Makes practicing math fun!
Review: My kids both need to practice their math more and this is such a fun way to reinforce what they learn at school at home too. I like that it is easy to use and both of my kids can use this for the different math facts that they have to work on. I also like that it’s easy to take on the go..:in the car, on plane rides and even waiting at a restaurant for their food.

Title: Great way to practice math skills
Review: I bought this math shark for my 8yr old son to practice his math skills over the summer. It turns out to be a great math review for my 4 yr old too. The various levels and skills that the kids can work on makes this a toy that will grow with a child. The display screen is simple and not too over stimulation. The volume and sounds coming from the math shark are pleasant and not too loud or too annoying ( I am very sensitive to toys with sounds… this one is great). The only negative thing I have to say is that the first one I bought had a screen that was dysfunctional (two parts of the screen did not work making it difficult to do the math problems). We got a replacement and the second one works great. I would say this would be a great gift but I’d be pretty embarrassed to give someone thing that arrived broken.

Title: Not good for kids who can’t read yet
Review: The device caught my 5 year old’s eye but unfortunately it had too make written prompts to get to the quiz part, and since my son can’t read, he couldn’t play on his own. So not great for kids who can’t read if you want it for independent play.

Title: Love it
Review: My son is adhd and struggles to focus so making it a game has been fun and challenging for him. I also like that it keeps up with time spent on a learning task. This way we can keep up with improvement in a more realistic way and it adds to the challenge.

Review: I was disappointed in the calculator function. Although the package shows a full operation in the display beside the caption “Fully Functional Calculator”, in the calculator mode the operation is in fact not shown. Each individual entry is shown as it is made, but this removes the previous entry, as does the result display. This means the child can’t play with numbers on their own and see what happens, such as entering and seeing on the display “100 + 100= 200”. As the display is capable of this, as it does in the “Learning Mode”, you would think this would be a valuable addition. Also, the display could be better, as would the ability to adjust the volume. The range of problems in the learning mode seems to be good.
