 great math tutor February 27, 2008
DIANA (FLORIDA)
this product was recommended by my child's 2nd grade math tutor to help him with his math. he has had over 6 months and still in perfect condition and that is alot to say because my child or 2yo brother destroys most of their toys. has addition, subtraction, multiplication and division which will be of help throughout elementary school. though screen is small and gray and numbers are in black need good lighting when practicing with it. also, for all those new parents or small children starting math teach your child math fact families if child learns that mostly likely to struggle less with math.
 I miss the owl. February 25, 2008

When I was a kid there use to be a math game like the Math Shark that was in the shape of an owl. I loved practicing my math with it. The display on the screen was in red so you could easily see it. The Math Shark is a close second though. The display is somewhat hard to see at times, but I love the fact that my son can grow with this and practice decimals, percents, and fractions. The owl couldn't do that. It is a little big for little hands to hold but my kids manage. My son does not seem to be as excited to use it, but I am hoping that he will magically acquire an interest soon. As far as being durable, I have three very active boys and so far it is still in tact. Overall, well worth the money and hopefully it will survive when all three boys start practicing math with it.
 Too dark February 23, 2008

The Math Shark is an incredible tool! My son's skills and grades improved nearly immediately. I never have to fight with my little "gamer" to study his math facts anymore. The only problem we have found with it is the screen... it's very dark and difficult to see. You have to get the lighting around you just so or you can't see what's showing on the screen. Overall, it's great, but that's a real pain in the butt!
Amazing Results in School Timed Math Tests! February 9, 2008

Thanks to the others who took the time to review this product, I decided to purchase it last November for a grandchild who was having difficulty with math facts and had been scoring very low on her weekly timed tests. The other reviewers indicated that the children's scores soared when using this toy. This is the amazing effect that I am now seeing happen for my grandchild. As soon as she started using the Math Shark, her tests jumped up to A's, completing all in the time allowed, whereas formerly she would only get half done with many errors. She forgot about it for awhile and her scores dropped back down. After starting to use it again, her scores are back up to A's. The Math Shark is a great investment for helping children succeed in school! I have just ordered another one for another grandchild. The price is also good for this kind of an item. The screen? Yes, it is dim for Grandma with aging eyes, but the children don't seem to have a problem with that at all.
Update, June, 2008: I have just ordered a third Math Shark for another grandchild who has just completed first grade and needs much help with his math skills. The first 2 grandchildren have enjoyed using it and have both claimed that it helped them tremendously. A wonderful educational tool!
Math Shark Review January 14, 2008
S. Guthrie (Texas)
My son needed help with his math along with building his self confidence. He is working daily with Math Shark and he is beginning to enjoy doing math and realizing that he is capable of doing these calculations in his head. This has been so much help. I wish I would have known about this game much sooner.
