Product Description

Ages 8 to adult.
Editorial Review
Equate looks a bit like Scrabble--for aspiring mathematicians, that is. Designed by a real mathematician, it works like this: You put down tiles on a board and make points by correctly completing simple equations. Your nine tiles include both numbers and mathematical symbols; you can add on to previous plays both vertically and horizontally. Learn simple stuff (like what division is) and more sophisticated ideas (like the order of precedence among arithmetic operations). It all adds up. --Richard Farr

 Great gift idea November 14, 2009
Happy Go Lucky
Bought this for my nieces and one struggles with math. She loves to play board games so it's a great way for her to stengthen her math skills.
Will buy one for my kids when they are older.
 Fun and Educational for ALL ages! October 16, 2009
B. Mcclure
We bought this game as an educational tool for our home school. It is very versatile in that you can choose to do easy (just addition and/or subtraction) or more difficult (adding in multiplication, division, and fractions). Thus, it is adaptable for any age group (above 6yrs old). It is great for 1st grade through adults. It is exactly like Scrabble. My husband and I even have fun playing it, even though we bought it for the kids' use. I highly recommend it for any home!
Best math game for 2nd-4th graders February 8, 2009

About as educational as you can get for 2nd-4th grade. One of the few ways to brush up on math skills with my 7 yrs old outside the evening homework. Once scoring is done, will work together trying to use up all of the tiles filling the board out. With the expansion packs you increase the challenges as skills develop.
Having purchased many boardgames I would say quality is above average and exceeded my expectations.
Good game to help teach math February 4, 2009
Karen S. Allen (Canyon Lake, CA)
This a good family game (or a game for those in the family who like or need help with math). Our grandson (age 9), who is pretty much a math whiz, loves it -- he's challenged by the game format and having to come up with equations on his own.
This is a great game! January 8, 2009
Rachelle
We really like this game. It is a good challenge! My 9-year-old has come up with some great equations. We let our kids take out the harder fraction tiles for now since they haven't learned them yet. I'm glad someone came up with this game. If you like Scrabble and math, you will love this game! My daughter wants me to buy it for her class at school which I will probably do.
