Math Island Addition & Subtraction Game - Math Manipulatives, Educational Board Toys, Classroom Flash Cards , Volcano Toy, STEM Kids, Gifts for Boys And Girls , Montessori

We are homeschoolers and Fridays are game day so we have a lot of educational board games but this is easily the favorite. Very simple rules, fun "twists" and the board design is super fun. The volcano popper is a bit hit. Learning Resources games are top tier quality too, not flimsey boards or pieces. A great way to reinforce/practice basic addition and subtraction.

My 6 year old absolutely loves this game. She’s in first grade and working on building her addition and subtraction skills and this makes it way more fun. It’s also fun for the whole family. Even our 4 year old likes it and our 6 year old can help him with the math. It’s a pretty durable and sturdy set so you don’t have to worry too much about it getting broken (as most things do with little kids). Its functionality is perfect for learning math while having fun! The size is about like any other board game. The concept is super cute. If you have a little one in elementary school this is the way to go!

This is an awesome and fun game for my 5 year old son and for us parents. My son is able to practice math without it feeling like it’s “work”. He finds opportunities to play this game with us multiple times a day. The game is of great quality in terms of the pieces and in terms of the design. It’s easy to learn. I highly recommend.

I love the divide between fun and education in this game. My family of 5 with three kids (9yr,7yr,4yr), love playing this game. I would definitely recommend

I like this game. The game pieces are of a decent quality. We have owned it for well over a year and it still looks nice. Even the box is in good shape. Not because of gentle usage. My kids enjoy playing Math Island, which is most important. It is great practice for addition and subtraction up to 20. For my kid who is barely grasping addition I take the +/- die out of the game and we just work on addition. I would say if you have a kid that absolutely dreads math worksheets, this game is an excellent way to get them doing math problems without feeling overwhelmed. I brought in some blocks, which I feel in the game box, so my math hater can count the blocks if she's not sure how many places she should move. My kids that are good at math find it fun and are practicing adding in their heads, a useful life skill. The game concept is easy enough to understand that my kids mostly play it on their own now. Another benefit. If there is anything that I don't like about the game it is how big the gap between players can be just because of the roll of the dice. If one kid gets 10 plus 10 in a roll and the other gets 10 minus ten, there gets to be a huge gap between players. And the math isn't so fun if you are at the back of the board while someone else is winning. That would be my only "bone to pick," if you will.

Kids love this game! They beg to play it. We love that it helps reinforce what they're learning in our homeschool daily.

Great game. My 4 (almost 5) year old needs help with the math but he loves to play and it’s really helping him learn the basics. I was impressed because he usually balks at anything educational. We use the volcano for every roll to make it more fun. Game is super simple to set up and easy to understand. Would recommend.

Cannot say enough good things about it. My second grader was struggling with math as he has dyslexia. However, this has totally strengthened his math facts and increased his confidence. He doesn't even realize he's "doing math". It's more fun than candy land was for us as kids! He and his sister play 2 rounds every night before bed. Little sister is in kindergarten and she also loves it! I enjoy playing as well.

This game is a fun and engaging way to help kids become comfortable and quick with basic addition and subtraction. My daughter solves problems instantly in her head while playing, yet she often loses focus and takes much longer to answer the same questions when they’re written on paper. Turning learning into a game made a huge difference. I 100% recommend it.

Nos encantó, es un juego que mantiene el interés, no hace aburrido hacer operaciones matemáticas y el material duradero, colorido e innovador

Bra

Gioco per tutta la famiglia... così la matematica è davvero divertente!

Der Titel des Spiels ist auf Englisch, jedoch ist die komplette Anleitung auf deutsch. Das Spiel ist ein Würfelspiel, jedoch gibt es neben den 2 Würfeln auch einen Rechenzeichenwürfel, der entweder Plus oder Minus anzeigt. Dadurch kann man entweder 20 Schritte in einem Zug gehen, oder Null. Zudem gibt es auf dem Spielfeld jede Menge Sonderfelder, wie Aussetzen, Abkürzungen oder Rückwärts laufen. Das Highlight ist definitv der Vulkan, der manchmal zum Einsatz kommt. Dort wird ein Würfel reingelegt und dieser dann rausgeschleudert. Ansonsten ist das Spiel schnell erklärt und auch spannend zu Spielen. Es ist jetzt kein extremes Mathespiel, es gibt genügend Spiele, wo mit 2 Würfeln gewürfelt wird, was hier nur extra ist, dass es eben noch diesen Rechenzeichenwürfel gibt. Hier steht definitiv der Spaß im Vordergrund und nicht das Addition und Subtraktion pauken, was ich aber gut finde, dadurch wird das Spiel als Spiel wahr genommen und nicht als Lernspiel
