Learning Resources Minute Math Electronic Flash Card Classroom Must Haves

My son enjoys playing minute math flash card. We keep it in the car so he can play while we are driving. Great value for the price.

Press the red POWER button to turn the unit on. from instructions Press and hold the POWER button to mute the sound and play in silence. Press the POWER button again to restore the sound. Press POWER button again to turn the game off. Slide the selector switch to choose addition/subtraction or multiplication/division drills. Level Select Press 1, 2 or 3 to select a skill level. The selected level will display in Screen 1. or multiplication tables 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10. Skill Level 2 - This level increases the difficulty by featuring numbers 10-20 in addition/subtraction, or multiplication tables 3-12. Skill Level 3 - Play this level for a real challenge. Addition/Subtraction features equations with multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10, all the way up to 150, and multiplication tables 0-12. The Minute Math drill begins after a five-second countdown. Players now have sixty (60) seconds to solve as many equations as they can by filling in the missing number. The missing number may appear in any one of the three display screens. NOTE - The number in Screen 1 will ALWAYS be the largest of the three numbers in any of the equations. See example on page 1. The unit makes a "positive" sound for correct answers and a "negative" sound for incorrect answers. In MUTE mode, the screen will flash to indicate correct answers. At the end of 60 seconds, the unit will display a score. Screen 2 will display the number of problems answered correctly, and Screen 3 will display the total number of equations. To play again, press any button to return to the Level Select screen. ********Note - To disable the 60-second timer************************* , when selecting a skill level, press and hold button (1, 2 or 3). The screen will flash briefly and the timer will be disabled for the game. This is a great way to practice solving unlimited math equations. To restore the timer function, select a new game by sliding the selection switch

Two of my kids learned their math facts so well, that math came easy to them. I searched for a similar product and this "Minute Math" was suggested. I liked it immediately and would have gladly paid twice the asking price. It is intuitive, Kindergartners easily figure out the app. There are no instructions. Just select the level you want to try and listen for the "ready set go" tones. You get one minute to try as many problems as you can answer. It then presents how many right out of how many attempted. I gave the one I bought to my oldest Grandson along with $5.00 to his Dad - to be given to my Grandson when he achieves 20 correct on level 3. I do not care how many he tries, or how long it takes him - each "quiz" lasts only one minute. When he is done and earned his prize, he will know his add / sub facts and will probably be hooked on the devise to learn his mult /div facts. It is simply the very best devise available today to learn "the Facts, Ma'm, just the Facts, please!" to paraphrase SGT. Friday. I purchased mine from a specialty store and am about to but the second one here, on-line!

As both a teacher and a mom, I love this product for kids who already understand the concepts of adding, subtracting, etc. but now need to memorize the facts. It has all four operations (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). It also has levels that properly increase the difficulty within each operation. My son loves to challenge himself and try to beat his own record. It is a perfect size to take in the car or practice at home. Quick, easy, efficient...excellent value.

This is a great little math tool; it is a bit confusing though. My 8 year old, who struggles with math (the reason we bought it) found it confusing at first until she understood the rule about the largest integer. Also, one reviewer said she couldn't get the timer function off- you have to hold the power button and it will go into practice mode- less pressure for learners. (It's in the directions.) Other than that, it's great.

Great learning toy to keep in the car. A little tough to control what multiplication fact will appear, for example if you want to just review the 6's.

This educational toy (tool) is great practice for my second graders. I love that there are different levels to choose from and can, therefore, be played by ALL of my students. They love it too. I'm actually not sure why there are negative reviews on it-- unless maybe they haven't seen a fact triangle in this way before. My only complaint is that there is no button to turn the sound down or off! It is pretty loud and has a very tin-like sound that is very distracting in a classroom. I used some matching washi-tape to cover the sound holes to muffle it, which works fine but is not ideal. If it had a sound control, I would have bought more but I can't imagine having 5 of these going at the same time.

We use Singapore Math so I thought this would be great for learning number bonds plus it includes addition/subtraction and multiplication/division so it grows with your child. Cons: yes you can turn off the sound but once you put your answer in it removes it and moves on so fast you have no idea if you were right or wrong. Also there is no chance to correct yourself. So what is the child really learning. Nothing. It quickly fastest to the next problem even if you turn off the timer. Also it would be helpful if the little screens were bigger so you can see the numbers more clearly. They are small and dark. They do not light up. I think this could be a great product and very helpful if they could work out these issues. Also a button that clearly says - sound on/sound off. It's for kids. Keep it simple and slow it down. There is a reason we are allowed to do "minute math" in school anymore and it's the frustration that comes from it.

This device does not have enough math problems for a kid to master the concepts of addition, timing is not adjustable to enable younger kids learn to add then answer, it moves too fast and after 4 or so problems it will end the season and request change the level. Please don't waste your hard earned money for such garbage

Please do not buy this and waste your time....the instructions are horrible and i tried all options but it doesn't work....as a parent if i am unable to play i dont think kids can use this....strongly will not recommend anyone...i googled it for help but no luck....no videos any where to follow....
