    Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

    I went to an edu­ca­tional store to find this toy for my daugh­ter who was hav­ing trou­ble learn­ing her mul­ti­pli­ca­tion tables. It is exactly what I was search­ing for. Drills are lev­eled so the first one is for essen­tially step-counting by num­ber, say, 4 or 6, etc — up to 9. They learn the mul­ti­pli­ca­tion set this way and then pro­ceed to the sec­ond level where that par­tic­u­lar “times table” is ran­dom­ized for prac­tice. PERFECT! My daugh­ter has sud­denly started pass­ing her mul­ti­pli­ca­tion tests. She is so happy: she said to me “this is the best present ever” with a big beam­ing smile. Giv­ing a child the tool for suc­ceed­ing is about as good as it gets!! I agree the mut­ing func­tion is pretty price­less too! Though it can hin­der one’s speed a tad so I tol­er­ate the noise some­times. I agree the smi­ley faces get in the way of com­plet­ing each round of 10 ques­tions quickly, but you can just com­pen­sate for that — in terms of the time that the machine pro­vides for each round (also a ter­rific fea­ture), you can just adjust; try aim­ing for a per­sonal best rather than an absolute one. And then there are many more lev­els above these two “drill” lev­els — things get pro­gres­sively harder, and are a won­der­ful pre­al­ge­bra tool too. Plus the device is a cal­cu­la­tor. About as good a pur­chase as I’ve ever made! Thank you thank you thank you to this com­pany for pro­duc­ing a tool that has really tan­gi­bly improved my child’s life. You can­not imag­ine how anx­ious her inabil­ity to mas­ter this expec­ta­tion had been — and how much clear­ness this device has given in her life!

    Ama­zon Ver­i­fied Purchase(What’s this?)

    This prod­uct was highly rec­om­mended by a school teacher in the UK as a great teach­ing tool. It was well received as a gift by the chil­dren and their par­ents. An excel­lent math teach­ing tool that the chil­dren love. It is portable, user friendly and has some­thing for those on many dif­fer­ent lev­els, so much so that one father, an engi­neer, loves to play the game by him­self when trav­el­ling and is equally enjoy­able to his 7 year old son, as well as a game that they can play together. Math Whiz is a tool that cre­ates a friendly math expe­ri­ence which can be used for many years as the upgrad­ing lev­els will remain a challenge.
