## Description

desertcart.com Educational Insights brings a terrific idea to life in Math Shark, a combination skill-building tool and calculator. The shape, colors, flashing lights, and beeps--all reminiscent of a hand-held electronic game--will appeal to kids who may not otherwise be interested in practicing math. (Parents: the sound is unobtrusive, but can be turned off.) Math Shark offers eight different skill levels and seven skill groupings: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, and percentages. After every question a red or green flashing light and a corresponding beep let you know whether or not you answered correctly. If you get one wrong, the right answer flashes, and the question keeps appearing, along with any others answered incorrectly, until you get it right. After each set an encouraging comment--"You did it!" or "Way to go!"--comes up on the screen. The sets are timed, and your score, based on how long it took to answer all the questions correctly, appears at the end. When practice is done for the day, Math Shark becomes a handy calculator. Requires two AA batteries, not included. --Rachel Radway Product Description Mini mathematicians can practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percentages–all on their own–with this electronic math game featuring eight increasingly difficult levels for each skill. The LCD screen displays problems both horizontally and vertically, just like at school. MathShark makes a great addition to the classroom or home; the compact design is perfect for learning on-the-go, from waiting rooms to road trips. Bonus: converts to a full-function classroom calculator!

Review: Amazing Results in School Timed Math Tests! - Thanks to the others who took the time to review this product, I decided to purchase it last November for a grandchild who was having difficulty with math facts and had been scoring very low on her weekly timed tests. The other reviewers indicated that the children's scores soared when using this toy. This is the amazing effect that I am now seeing happen for my grandchild. As soon as she started using the Math Shark, her tests jumped up to A's, completing all in the time allowed, whereas formerly she would only get half done with many errors. She forgot about it for awhile and her scores dropped back down. After starting to use it again, her scores are back up to A's. The Math Shark is a great investment for helping children succeed in school! I have just ordered another one for another grandchild. The price is also good for this kind of an item. The screen? Yes, it is dim for Grandma with aging eyes, but the children don't seem to have a problem with that at all. Update, June, 2008: I have just ordered a third Math Shark for another grandchild who has just completed first grade and needs much help with his math skills. The first 2 grandchildren have enjoyed using it and have both claimed that it helped them tremendously. A wonderful educational tool!
Review: Better Than Video Games For A Busy, Growing Mind! - My precocious 1st Grader has a very active mind and is always looking for a challenge. We've chosen not to have video games at home at this time but I saw this and thought this might be something fun for him to do during downtime, car rides, etc. He has really taken up the challenge with the Math Shark and enjoys playing the games and moving up to new levels. He has also begun to teach himself multiplication as the games are helping him understand the patterns and concepts. So far the Math Shark has been a great way for him to engage his brain and learn new things!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know about the sound? Can it be turned off or used with headphones?**
A: Ear phones are not used with this product.

**Q: Is there a way to change the darkness of the screen? Like on a calculator? The screen is very hard to read**
A: On page 5 of the manual it said, "Turn MathShark on & press HELP during the opening screen. Use the + & - buttons to adjust contrast for maximum visibility." My contrast level is 1.

**Q: Can 1 child play alone ? must he be able to read ?**
A: The child has to read the numbers and the plus sign, minus sign, etc.   My child played with me sitting next to her, or
how else would you know he or she was making progress.  Parents, in my opinion have to be involved, in helping their
child with math, reading, or whatever the subject is he or she is struggling with.   Isn't that what parenting is all about,
guiding, helping ?????????

**Q: How do I open the battery case? A normal screwdriver doesn't seem to fit.**
A: A normal screwdriver won't fit. I use a small screwdriver that I purchased for little projects like these. (This would be like the one you can uses for towel racks hanging in wall) Hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with product
*by C***D on November 26, 2016*

I rarely review items, but have been telling friends and relatives to buy this, so I thought I would post. I love this product. This was the one thing that has worked for my kid to learn math facts. My ONLY negative thing to say about it is that the screen (as everyone says) is small and hard to read and the font looks like it is out of the beginning-computer-era. I bought this online from Amazon for my child who needed to learn multiplication 'math facts' and hadn't mastered it yet and her class was moving on to more difficult things, upon which multiplication was a basis. I had tried flash cards and a ton of apps, some free and some for a fee, and nothing seemed to work - or the app would be fun, but not helpful to learning math facts. I finally bought this after a tutor said that the only issue was just memorizing math facts - I suddenly realized that all the money for a math tutor was a lot more than just buying this educational toy. I bought it and within a week, my child has almost completely mastered her multiplication 0 - 12. She already had about half those numbers down, but she was stuck on the other half. Every day, I make her use the math shark - she would rather do other less academic games, truthfully, but she is still willing and pretty happy to play on this product. I make her do different numbers alone (under the level1 or 2) and then the machine times her and I write the time down on a chart so that she can see how much better she is getting with each number she learns. The positive reinforcement and realization that this is actually FUN once you are good at math facts - has had a snow ball effect and her confidence and attitude about math has soared. I am truly happy - my child is almost caught up and I feel like this product really saved us and will make this academic year much easier. I am recommending it to everyone.. We haven't tried division yet, but that's next. For future versions of the shark math, I think the company making it should update the screen (making it easier to read), should put in some 'memorization' function so that the machine keeps track of how fast kids are learning, and should make it easier to use, if possible (not impossible to use, but I did have to read over the directions). But all and all, I am very happy and relieved that we found this.
