Math Facts Electronic Games???

[Pembo]

Dh & I were remembering The Little Professor. A handheld electronic toy that you raced against with math facts.

What do they make today for kids??? I looked on Amazon and saw The Math Shark?! Anyone use it? Do kids like it?

My 7 yo is very resistant to working on facts with us. I'm thinking if he could "race" a computer it might just trick him into learning.

Shameless bump for day crowd!

We bought my DD Twist & shout math facts. It seed to help her. I believe she was 7 at the time. It goes for about $15.00 in the store. I'll mail it to you if you want?

check out this link. has two pages of math "toys". i love leap frog products and v-tech. these are from toysrus.com and can be found cheaper elsewhere. just easier to find them to look at here.

My dd has the brain quest one and she likes it. I don't know the math shark one.

But I did have one of these.

Math Sharks are very good. A popular Supplemental Education Company uses these:
