LakeshoreSelf-Teaching Math Machines - Set of 4

The Self-Teaching Math Machines set of 4, which includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, is an excellent tool for independent learning. The machines are of high quality and durable, ensuring they will last for a long time. They are educational and provide a fun and interactive way for students to practice and strengthen their math skills. The machines are also easy to use, making it accessible for all levels of learners.

Purchased for third grader’s ninth birthday because of lagging behind in math skills. I thought it might be boring and a disappointment especially since other parent got her a video game system. I was wrong. She’s crazy about these math machines. They are a huge help with her homework. The first thing we did was I showed her some patterns in the layout so she got excited looking for more patterns and a month later she’s still doing it. She’s learned it’s not just individual facts, but an overall system.LOVE how these have the answers pop up in bold color rather than the dim hard to see numbers in the ones that were in my 1980’s classroom.I’m thinking about donating them to a classroom after my child no longer needs them. If I were a teacher I would love to have these. I also love that we were able to save a bit getting a four pack rather than picking individually. I was just going to get multiplication at first until I delightfully saw the option to get all of them.

My grandchildren will get many years of enjoyment of this educational toy. They are just the right size for little ones, easy to read, great quality and value for the money and functions exactly as noted in the description.

Granddaughter loves these! Plays with them often.

My grandkids run to these at my house, and aren’t typically book or homework focused. It’s so easy to use on their own and I think they gain a ton of confidence using it. No one is looking over their shoulder, testing them etc. It’s all them-by themselves and they love it. My 9 year old just took the multiplication one home with him as they have groups in class that compete to move up after they become proficient at different problems. His inner desire to succeed and surpass is driving him. And this makes it so easy for him to practice when mom and dad are too busy to quiz him.

Very helpful, they loved it, I replace the Tablet a few hours a day.

I'm working with my grandmonster to help him get his basic math facts faster. I want to get to a time when he can do a lot in under a minute addition and subtraction mixed up. Kids like him don't always easily see that math is nothing but patterns. When you learn those patterns you unlock the mystery to working with numbers. When you get the basics easily then you can tackle the challenging stuff. I was a kid who didn't understand the power of number patterning, either. Once I understood it, I really enjoyed it, but I was a college student by then! If I had figured it out early I would not have struggled in school and would have probably loved math. This little "machine" that is hands on and pops up shows basic patterns and is self checking. I have a subtraction, multiplication, and division one for him, also. Different things work for different kids. It isn't always a fancy computer game and not all kids want to sit and write out facts all summer. So far this is a hit!

Reminds us of what we had when we were little. I have grandchildren whose ages range from 1-1/2 to 8, so I purchased the complete set, knowing that one age group would be using any of the four choices at any time. I just lend them where needed, or will keep at my house when the grandchildren come, making it a game. Very well packaged. Durable.
