Math for Girls

We love this game. My girls ages 8 and 6 and I play this game in the evening. They have both been struggling in math, which is not uncommon in girls their ages. We have tried to reduce the gender bias in math skills by providing materials that enhance math understanding in young children, unit blocks, sand and water play and cooking activities. We just couldn't break through the wall. Last Christmas I bought Dino Math Tracks along with other math related games. This was the breakthrough we have needed. Both girls math skills and understanding of math concepts have improved by leaps and bounds.

Excellent!

A great game for giving kids practice with place values. They love to play it because of the dinosaurs.

good game for second grader

I bought this to help my second grader enjoy math - which she was struggling with at homework time, not "getting" math concepts. She immediately took to it from day one and said it "made math fun". I like the three or even more different levels in which one can play the game. To acclimate, we played the easiest way and then moved up to the next level by game two. It is a fun game, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the dinosaur theme appealed to my girl as well as it might a boy.
