Learning Resources Pop For Addition & Subtraction Math Game Number Flash Cards, Ages 6+

A fun way to teach addition and subtraction without too intense a level of competition. Until the student gets better at it, you can just let them get the answers first (or at least most of them). The popcorn idea is good and makes things more interesting, much better than flashcards. :)

My 5 year old son loves this game! It is the last thing he wants to do before bed and the first thing he wants to do in the AM. It is a great way to practice a lot of basic addition and subtraction problems that doesn't involve worksheets. Two things to note: (1) doesn't involve any numbers greater than ten, so it really is appropriate for a very narrow range of children, (2) it involves a *lot* more addition than subtraction, making it a less effective teaching tool for kids who need more practice with subtraction.

It would be great if you could come up with a multiplication and division version.

My kids beg to practice their math facts with this game!

need more for multiplication, time, money etc.

Kindergarten students love playing this game! We use it to practice sign recognition, counting on, and basic addition & subtraction facts.

I thought it was super cute and would encourage my son with learning. He on the other hand was super disappointed that it wasn't actually a gumball machine haha. He checked it out while I was making dinner but we haven't actually had a chance to sit together to use it.

My 5 and 6 year old are working on learning to do addition and subtraction quicker. we are using this game to work on learning to get the answer quickly. there are several different variations to be played. one is learning addition and subtraction, another is grouping problems that have the same answer.

I was looking for fun ways to help my 1st grader memorize her math facts and so far this is working for us. The first time we played it through, it was anything but "fast paced". Every time we found a "pop" card I groaned inside. I hated dumping my collection back in and starting over, not because I wanted to win but because it made the "fast paced" game drag to nearly an hour. We decided to modify the rules for future games - a "pop" card is now a good thing to get since it counts as two gumballs instead of one. My only real complaint about the game is the limited number of math facts. The facts only go up to a SUM of 10. That means that a lot of the 1 - 10 math facts are missing; 1+10, 6+6, etc. If the sum would be greater than 10, it's not included in the set. I would strongly suggest that Learning Resources produce a "supplement" pack for the missing math facts, all the way up to 12+12. As it is, I may just end up using a sharpie to change some of the easier facts to ones she needs to learn.
