LONG game. I think people should know that they could be in (as it states in the directions, but not in the ad copy) for 2-3 hours...

Great game. However, if Scrabble can provide a high quality board and wooden tiles for a comparable amount why can't this company?

The concept of the game is great. A copy of a game from the late 70's called Equitable. Very disappointed with the paper tiles. I was thinking wood.

This is a gerat game! My third grader and I play it all the time. You can make it easier by removing fractions or division signs, and add thsoe back in when your child is more comfortable with those concepts. It is basically scrabble, but using mathematical equations instead. I bought a copy for my daughter's school too.

My 10-year-old surprised me with some of the difficult equations she came up with...and meanwhile I, former Calculus student - how long ago I won't mention - had to trade tiles twice just to think of an equation! I absolutely love this game, and it's very adaptable.

Quite a challenge for my 11 yr. old who is a Sudoku champ at home, but she asked to play again! Great for pre-algebra work. She does not want to touch the Advance Tiles yet because she has to master fraction multiplication and division. There's also a tiny bit of a struggle with division statements. By end of 2nd game, she was more versatile, improved enough to tie with me. However, she's still tempted to form her statements upwards. Great for parents to know which math area your child need more practice in.
