Think Fun Math Dice Junior Game for Boys and Girls Age 6 and Up - Teachers Favorite and Toy of the Year Nominee

Good for fun and learn.

I received the item that was already used before, ripped, with missing pieces

Buen juego para iniciar las mates a los peques de la casa. Viene en una bolsita para guardar. Es un juego corto así que ideal para que no se aburra pronto. Quieren repetir una y otra vez!!!! Fácil de transportar y cabe en cualquier bolso.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my two nephews. One is only three so still a little young for this but he can count up to ten so he's not going to be far off being able to play this with a little help. The other nephew is five and is very advance with his numbers so I thought it would be a good little game for him, even if it's not particularly challenging it should be something the both of them can play together in the near future. The product itself was very well made, the dice are a good size so no real risk of a child swallowing them and unlike other products I've seen that are similar it comes with a nice bag to put it all in so nothing gets lost.

Tolles Spiel das man dem Alter des Kindes immer anpassen kann..mein Sohn, 5 Jahre, spielt es super gerne und er verinnerlicht das Rechnen. Zur Zeit spielen wir es so dass er die bunten Würfel nur addieren oder subtrahieren soll und auf das Ergebnis des weißen Würfels zu bekommen. Später kann er beides gemischt um auf das Ergbnis zu kommen! Ein klares Jahr!

My 6.5 year old loves this game and has for about 6 months. It is easy to play, doesn't take any special equipment beyond what it comes with, and is fun. The goal is to use addition and subtraction to sum up the numbers on 5 colored dice to get to a target number, and you get to move your game piece one space for every die you successfully use in a round, so it's advantageous to use as many as possible. The trick is that you have to do the math in your head quickly and then yell "math dice" first--only that person gets to show the combo they came up with. The first player to move their game piece around the given board wins. (The board is very tiny--we usually end up going around 2-3 times per game.) When we play with our son, though, my husband and I have to basically hold back to give my son a chance, because obviously a grownup can add a lot faster than a 6 year old. Still, we are able to jump in just enough to push him and get him thinking faster and in a more complex way, which is the best part of this game. For instance, in the months we've had this, he's figured out how to do more complex strings using both addition and subtraction to maximize the number of dice used (e.g., 3+4+2-1=8 to use 4 dice instead of 3+4+1=8 to only use 3 dice). You don't have to do things that complicated (you could start out with only addition, for instance), but that's part of the strategy and what makes it a game more than just math drills. I think what ages this is for really depends on the child. My son is pretty fast at adding and subtracting, and he can do much of it in his head. I know he's played with other 6 year old friends and they struggled quite a bit. So you kind of have to know your kid. Can your kid add and subtract numbers totaling up to 12? Can they add/subtract more than one number in a row (e.g., 2+2+3)? And can they do it in their head? They don't necessarily have to do those thing super well yet, but they do need to be able to do them a little. Also think about who the child will play with--it's best if they can play with kids at a similar math skill level so one person doesn't dominate. I do like that Math Dice Jr encourages my son to think about math, but apart from that it's just a fun, simple game that doesn't take too long to play. It's a winner for us!

Este juego viene en una presentación muy bonita. Es muy colorido y está acompañado por una bolsita en la que puedes guardar todo para fácil transportación y para que no se pierda. Es excelente para practicar, de forma divertida, las habilidades de suma y resta.
