Not worth it
The quality of the materials doesn't justify the cost in my opinion.

Great fit!
I bought the math games kit to go along with another worksheet based curriculum for my first grade son. He loves playing the games so much that he asks dad to play sometimes in the evenings. I found his retention of facts to be improving through the games. I loved the results of the games so much that I ended up switching to the full right start math curriculum and haven't looked back since. It is a great fit for our family!

These math games are FUN!!! We have had this set almost a year and my 10yo son and 7yo daughter both greatly enjoy it They have memorized so many math facts- without trying The games serve 2 purposes- 1 to help children enjoy math and playing around with numbers and 2 to replace boring mind-numbing drills I have yet to meet a child who enjoyed endless math drills; But this set provides practice for all the different math facts in the most painless way The set is a great value because it covers basically all forms of K-5 math I was worried the games wouldn't be interesting enough or varied enough for frequent use but they are We use them both during the school day and at night with dad just for fun In fact one of my friends (a chemist and math wiz) uses this set as her only math 'curriculum' for her children until starting them with geometry and pre-algebra in 7th grade Yes- they are THAT good! I can't recommend this math game set highly enough

to help with math facts

I have a friend who bought this kit and showed it to me. We also played some of the games with our kids. I think this is a fantastic way to practice math via games. I am really looking forward to…

I have a Masters in Education. This is by far the best math curriculum on the market.

I purchased this math card game kit to help reinforce memorization of math facts and other concepts taught in a fun way.
