Light 'N' Strike Math Game, Ages 6+

Great Math tool! Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division. Each discipline has 3 levels with 10 questions. It will keep score & only advance you if you get a certain percentage correct. The fun oversized smashing mallet allows you to hit the oversized number buttons for your answer but you can also just push the correct answer with your hand. It was a bit confusing at first. The instructions do not tell you that you have to WAIT until the light appears on the correct number. Then and only then can you smash the button. If an answer is a double digit, you MUST WAIT until each correct digit lights up then smash the enter button. All in all I am pleased with the game!!

I love this product

My son was inputting correct number and it kept saying it was wrong.

We bought both Light 'n' Strike Math and Math Shark for my 9-year old nephew and had my son try out both games. After you choose the level and type of math (add, subtract, divide or multiply) the Light 'n' Strike asks you a series of math questions. In order to score, you need to hit the numbers of the correct answer just as they are lit up and then hit enter. There isn't a set time limit so if you're trying to get your kid to memorize math facts as quickly as possible, this is not the educational toy for you. However, the Light 'n' Strike is a fun way for kids to work on math skills while improving on their hand-eye coordination.

Bought this for a 5 year old. He loved it. He was able to do the simple math and just so enjoyed. Glad I got it for him. only suggestion is a softer mallet to use since the little guy was so anxious to hammer his answer -- I had to laugh at the noise that his mom would have to put up with later.

I bought 2 of these for my kids. The first thing to know if how big they are. I thought they were handheld size but they are as big as a laptop. It has an adjustable volume which is great. Overall, it is a great product for being a 'math toy'. I would buy again but maybe only 1, there is no fighting over a math toy.

Great for kinesthetic learners! Funny and boppy tune (with volume knob on the top right side). You have to wait for the answer to light up and then bop it while lighted. If you don’t, it just says “wrong” which ... I do know that 1+3=4, sir. ☺️

After trying other math toys where you had a twist knobs to enter an answer, this toy seemed superior in that you could quickly hit the correct answer with the mallet. Because they've tried to make this more "fun" by only accepting the correct answer when the numbers light up, there is a lot of time sitting there waiting for the numbers, and NOT much time actually drilling math facts. Additionally, I was disappointed because some of the questions are formatted in a more complicated way giving you 7 x ? = 35. This could have been a really terrific speed drill game, but wound up being complicated and frustrating for my kids who are still learning the answers. They can't deal with not only having the correct answer but getting it when it lights up, before the time is out, AND having to hit "enter" after they put their numbers in. ALSO, this game is very big, measuring 8.5" x 15". I will say that it seems to be well made. Don't expect it to replace good old fashioned flashcards.

Le puse pilas nuevas y al presionar los números para dar la respuesta no se marcaban por lo que se reiniciaba continuamente y no podía pasar al nivel dos porque las contaba como respuestas incorrectas

Do not buy this I bought it and put brand new batteries in it it does not work I think I was given a used one It was a jumbo size much bigger probably not made anymore When they sent a new replacement it was tiny in half the size big hassle to return
