Very useful for reading practice
Love this toy - I'm teaching my 4 yr old to read/spell and it has been invaluable - it has lots of little picture "rods", plenty of letter rods (consonants in blue, vowels in red - great idea- reinforces the importance of vowels) a few blank rods, activity cards(e.g.pick pictures of dog, pig, fox and ask which end the same) and a little dry erase board and pen for writing/drawing practice. They have to create words left to right which reinforces that too. Fun factor? Well,its way more fun than worksheets or dry early readers. All in a self contained package so the pieces can be put away easily. ... Read more

Great Toy
This is a great toy that is lots of fun, but educational without anyone realizing it.I got this for my 4 and 6 year olds for Christmas this year and it is a huge hit.We have not had any problems with the reset button getting stepped on or any other issues.It has good sound effects with either a correct or incorrect answer.I thoroughly enjoy this game and would recommend it!

Great Learning Toy with some Comments
This is a great toy. My very active five year old loves this game. He can play and move and review his numbers and adding and subtracting.

Two comments about this math mat though-
1. The numbers face outwards and the child stands in the middle of the numbers. When my son first started playing on this it took him some time to figure out which numbers were which. The numbers need to face the child.

2. The restart button is on the inside of the circle where the child stands and is easily stepped on. This leads to frustration sometimes if the child is not careful because they step on this restart button and the game starts over.

Otherwise, this is an excellent way to review number recognition, adding and subtracting.

Enjoy. Well worth the money.

Fun with Math
This is a great toy!My son loves the Math Mat so much that when I challenge him to a game he shouts out the answers to the problems and occasionally tries to step on the buttons even when it's my turn to play!This is a great toy for letting the kids run off some of their energy as they review their basic math skills.My 5-year-old son runs around the mat as the computer voice says the equation and then he quickly runs to step on the answer.The mat has three games (number identification and sequence, addition, and subtraction) and two levels of play.Regarding addition and subtraction, the first level requires you to find the sum or the difference and the second level gives you the answer to the problem and the first number in the equation and you provide the missing number.We use level 1 as a warm up since it provides a good review and then we play level 2 for a challenge.

I'd give this toy more than 5 stars in the fun and educational categories if I could.Since most children are quite active and learn math at different rates and since repetition is good at this stage, most children would get a lot of good quality use out of this game.I think the durability is pretty good also but it's really too soon to know. ...
