Math Whiz plays like a video game and teaches like electronic flash cards! This portable ELA quizzes kids on addition, subtraction, multiplication or division AND works as a full-function calculator with the switch of a button! Problems are displayed on the LCD screen with eight skill levels as well as lights and sounds for instant feedback. Two AAA batteries required (not included). Press Challenge for a numbers elimination game. As random numbers scroll from left to right, keep pressing numbers that add up to 10 or 20 to eliminate them from the screen.
Makes "drilling" fun
05/28/2008 - by Joan from NYC
My 8-year-old daughter has a logical mind but was bad at memorizing basic math facts, and, at least at her school, teachers don't want to do the kind of old-fashioned "drilling" that allowed me to learn this stuff when I was a kid. So we had to do the drilling at home -- but my daughter hated the flash cards, and got stressed out by them.
This little gadget has been a godsend. Both she and her 6-year-old brother love it and play with it like a favorite toy. It has a great many levels, so you can start your child at just the right point. They can work on it again and again on their own -- a very different feeling from getting a flash card question wrong in front of Mom. It's always encouraging and upbeat -- and they learn their math! I love it!
