Good toy for learning while traveling
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.

Students know the answer but can't find the button quickly
Most number key pads are arranged in a rectangular pattern, but the Minute Math Electronic Flash Card number key pad is set up in a triangular pattern. I understand how this pattern would fit better on a triangular fact-family flash card, but this confuses my students. My students know the answer, but are unable to locate the buttons they need before the time is up.

Good idea but poor execution
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.

Will last for years
My daughter loves maths!! This has been a great addition to our home school learning. She likes the challenge of beating the buzzer. It is easy to use and has lots of levels and sum options you can choose additions, subtraction, multiplication or division. My daughter is 5 and on level one addition and subtraction so she will have many years worth of use before she reaches the higher levels.

Stressful for trying to learn; fine if you already know
We bought this to help our daughter with memorizing her multiplication tables, but it gives so little time to answer that you cannot get it right if you have to sit and think for a few seconds; it is maddening and had my daughter in tears. I tried repeatedly to disable to timing function, without success. Only get this if your child already has them memorized.

Terrible and frustrating
Terrible product! It says you can turn the timer off but it still only gives a few seconds for each problem. My highly intelligent straight A student couldn't handle it! I literally threw it in the trash.
