Educational Insights Math Slam - Interactive Math Games, Basic Algebra Game for Learning Addition and Subtraction, Handheld Kids' Electronics, Self Teaching STEM Learning Tools for Kids Ages 5+

What an awesome, engaging learning toy! I've had mine for a year, and it's still going strong. My kids use Math Slam on a daily basis. I homeschool, and I am always looking for educational, entertaining toys. This educational toy is just for addition and subtraction. There are many levels of play, from simple addition/subtraction to a double digit addition/subtraction. There IS a volume control, which is excellent. My oldest has autism, so anything that's interactive learning, helps so much more. He actually "works for" the reward of playing it. Great way for special needs kiddos to show you what they really do know. My daughter is now 6, and she wants one of her own to have competitions of who can answer the most the fastest. Math Slam has been used on a daily basis, for the past year, with no issues whatsoever. I came here just to find similar products, and decided to write a review. I paid full price for this item.

The actual game is wonderful. My kids love it which is why I gave it 5 stars. However, beware - this toy arrived used. Twice. We got this for Christmas, and clearly the box had been opened previously and taped shut. We decided to keep it anyway, until we realized the toy itself was broken. It would suddenly stop working half way through a game or not turn on at all even with fresh batteries. We returned it. The kids were asking if we could buy again, so I did, thinking the chances would be pretty low we would get a used toy twice. The seller was Amazon, not a third party, which I mistakenly thought would be more reliable. Well, it just arrived, and it could quite possibly be the exact same one I returned, now with even more tape taping it closed. It's going back again, and we will not be purchasing from Amazon a third time. Time to go to a good old brick & mortar toy store!

UPDATE: 2023, and it’s still going strong! My 5- and 6-year olds love this toy. I really think it's helping their math facts stick, because it's fun and engaging. I knocked off one star because the voice on it is a little over-the-top zany, but that's the only complaint. For those wondering, there IS a volume dial on the side of the toy... Otherwise I would have to take off another star ;)

Good idea, but stopped working after a few uses. Sometimes the right answer is the same color multiple times in a row, but otherwise a fun and engaging way to practice math. 1 star for poor durability

I love this toy which is really a math game! Best time to use it is while riding in the car to keep the little one entertained and to increase math facts with a focus on speed. the game is loved by our kids because they like SLAMMING it and being the first or beating the clock. Best age is beginning at age 5 and then having it around until age 10 max. Only thing is it has a somewhat annoying sound system which can be shut off.

This was my 6 year old daughter's favorite Christmas gift this year, believe it or not...She even takes it with her on car rides. I love the fact that you are only in competition with yourself and I love the fact that you have plenty of time to choose an answer to math questions. Really well designed and entertaining...All that and it is helping a kindergartener learn addition and subtraction. Great that there are 4 levels, so this is a game she will enjoy for a long time.

Our 5 year old grandson loves numbers, addition, subtraction, and counting. He loves this, and plays by himself or with a grownup, for fun!

This is a fun little handheld game that teaches the kids without them even realizing it! Haha! Has different levels of games racing to solve equations and training your brain. Good size for any age to hold in their hands! And it's solid, sturdy plastic that won't fall apart.
