 Math can be better January 12, 2008

Not impressed. The graphics are very hard to read and all it is is numbers! In this world of amazing graphics this should not be an issue. My kids love math but this only holds my 7 year old attention for a few minutes. I would not recommend.
 An additional way to drill math facts January 5, 2008

My 8 year old doesn't mind using this a few times a week. They do a lot of math drills in school, but she was getting stuck. This is a different way for her to practice, in addition to old-fashioned paper and pencil. The screen is difficult to see if you are not right in front of it (I can't watch over her shoulder), but she says she can see it just fine.
 Good for kids just starting math skills October 17, 2007

I got this for my son for his birthday when he was turning 7 and in the first grade. I was looking for something electronic to help him learn/practice multiplication and division before 2nd grade. The addition and subtraction were way to easy for him. He was at the time slighty above his piers in math.
The multiplication mode goes in the same sequence which made him memorize rather then learn. He could spit out his multiplication tables in 1st grade after using the math shark, but I didn't get the feeling he understood what mutliplication was after using this product.
I also don't feel it was good value for what he learned compared to so of teh other products out there.

I bought this for my 11 year old grandson struggling with math. I knew his addiction to electronic games and decided this might be the thing he needed to motivate him to learn math functions. I had it sent to him in San Diego and was told that he loved it, and the last I heard he was doing better in math.
 Excellent concept - worthless product September 3, 2007

This is an excellent concept. It has every feature that you could think about. My kids liked this very much (5 and 7 year olds). However, the screen is worthless. It is faint and hurts the eye. There is no way you can turn up the brightness (no buttons for that). The numbers on the outside can't be seen at all. The window is the exact size as the screen so that light from any side casts shadow on the screen. Kids even when they are squinting to understand if the number is a one or seven make mistakes. I would have happlily given double this price to get a version with the screen resolution issue resolved. May be this would get resolved in the next version. Till then it is as worthless as a 74 inch plasma hdtv with a dead screen.
