 Great fun - flexible thinking while learning math!!!Nov 23, 2004
By Kicking back in New England
My son got the two player version of Countdown for his birthday when he turned 8 and we quickly found out how wonderful this learning game is! On each turn, the player roles two dice and chooses a function to make a number 1 through 10. For example, if you role a 2 and a 3, you can add them to make 5, multiply them to make 6 or subtract them to make 1. The first person to clear all ten numbers wins the game. To add more interest, when you role 5 and 6 the game lets you either take it as a 1, or you get to knock down all your opponents numbers. Double sixes - major bummer - all your numbers get knocked down and you start over.
After only playing a few times, I found that my son started effortlessly switching gears between all four math functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to make whatever number he needed to clear off his board.
Since then, we have purchased the 4 player version of Countdown as a class gift for his 3rd and 4th grade classrooms - and the teachers love it! Kids learn while having fun - you can't beat that!
This game can be used for younger kids too - just have them use only addition and subtraction. Then add in multiplication and division when they're ready.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this game - you will love it and your children will too!

A very FUN educational game.Jul 30, 2006
By L. McNeil
I purchased this game so that I could help my 7 year old son practice his math. All I can say is WOW! This game makes math so much fun. I played the game with my 7 and 5 year old boys over and over again this afternoon. The games go pretty fast and are so much fun. They didn't want to stop! This will definately be a regular game for us!

 Not Much of a Challenge!May 29, 2008
By Brenda L. Williams
I purchased this item for a first grader who is very interested in anything having to do with math. However, this item does not provide much challenge because of certain limitations. Specifically, the numbers only go to ten (10), therefore you are restricted if you multiply or if you add.
I made it more challenging by placing numbers 11-20 on two of the rows.

Awesome Math Game for all agesNov 01, 2006
By D. Lohr
"SAHM to my angels"
I bought this for my 5 year old son and found that my 4 year old was also very into playing it. This game is very well made and it is easy for them to play on their own. For now, we just add and have recently started subtracting. When we move on we will add the multiplication and division, which is great for this game, you can go at your own pace and it will be fun for many years!
This is definitely worth every cent!

 This is for very basic skillsJan 15, 2007
By R. Clark
This is a compact, easy to use game. It is not for anyone who already has basic math skills. I bought it to help my eleven year old son improve his and I when I received it I realized it was geared more for first time math students. I ended up giving it to my grandchildren who are 6 and 4. It is more age appropriate for them.
