Learning Resources Dino Math Tracks Game

The game is really fun. Perfect for a six-year-old.

I originally bought this for my 1st grader but this is also something my 4th grader can play and learn from. They both liked picking their dinosaur and they liked that it was like a race. I really appreciate the different levels of math you can play, we will definitely get years of use with this !

I got this for the kids on the assumption that it would help to teach math. Honestly, it doesn't teach a great deal of math, and even that not in a very rigorous way. Just some very basic basics, like recognizing place value (what's the difference between 1, 10, 100, and 1,000 for example—and which are which?) and counting. And as an adult, I have to say that the game seems boring, repetitive, and unimaginative to me. BUT, with that said, this game is an absolute favorite with my five-year-old, who wants to play it all the time still, months later. And while my six-year-old isn't quite *as* enamored with it, she still says okay every time, enjoys herself, and gets into the game. So as with so many things in life, even if it seems dull to an adult, it can still be absolutely absorbing to a kid. And even if it doesn't teach all that much math, it's still G-rated and has numbers and counting in it. When you compare to all the other "absolutely absorbing to a kid" stuff that's out there in the world today, those properties make it stand head and shoulders above much of the rest.

My 6 year old loves this game. It's a great way to reinforce place values. She also is eager to read the game cards, so there's even some reading practice as well. The cards are a bit flimsy though. I brought them in to our local school supply store and had them laminated for a few bucks. I feel this game is well worth the price.

Nice educational game, but the board is easily broken if folded up incorrectly, which children tend to do. The blue and purple dinosaurs look too similar in color. They should’ve made the colors red, yellow, green, and blue. Or maybe black instead of green or blue, since green and blue can look similar too, depending on the shade.

This is a very well thought out game that introduces place value, initially. It grows as your child’s knowledge grows. We started out with 1’s and 10’s place, and then added as my six year grandson master the concept of counting by 10’s easily by moving into the hundreds. Then, added the next level reaching the thousands. We then added the feature of saying the whole four digit number before beginning the moves. He loves to count out his dice to create battles with the dino figures, as well. Strategy! After this is all mastered, the next provided feature are the cards that introduce and practice multiplication! The longer we play this game, the more I appreciate the learning/teaching features. It is a great addition to his math mastery!

We are a homeschooling family and I purchased this game for my daughter who just started 2nd grade. I must admit, I had put off buying it for months, but so glad that I finally did. It’s a cute way to introduce and teach some basic place value concepts. I mean, who doesn’t love dinosaurs? I can see this being a favorite game for a while and saving it for her little brother (who’s 2 and loves playing with the dinosaurs).

This is an excellent math game! My boys love dinosaurs and they love this game! They play this game for an hour or more. They don't even realize they are doing math and learning. I wish there were more games like this for learning math skills.

Brilliant, This game has really helped my year 1 children with place value. I would say for independent play it's suited for year 2 onwards, But I use this to help my sons in year one as they are just learning place value.

Missing orange staggasaurus meeple. So can only play 3 players instead of 4.

Padrísimo para reforzar mates simples o no tan simples y conteo de unidades, decenas, centenas y millares y como el tema es muy atractivo, lo hace muy llamativo para los peques. Hay que mencionar que está en inglés así qur hay que apoyar a leer las instrucciones y tarjetas.

Amazing game! Very good for grades k-4 and intervention.

Buen juego para pensamiento matemático
