The Dino Math Tracks game (winner of several prestigious awards,
including an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal) is a race around
the rainbow with a pack of pintsize, prehistoric pals. An unusual
spin on a typical roll-the-dice-and-move game, it spotlights the
mathematical concept of place value and gives kids reinforcement
in what makes our base-10 number system tick. Each player is
allotted one dinosaur for each of the four tracks (the tracks are
labeled 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s). To play, a player rolls four
dice to create a 4-digit number and then moves his or her
prehistoric posse to the appropriate 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s
places. Problem-solving strategies are honed as players scurry to
get all four miniature mammoths or tiny triceratops into the dino
haven, ahead of the other players' thundering herds. But look
out! In the race to dino utopia, it's easy to get bumped by a
baby brachiosaurus!
The Dino Math Tracks game provides multiple levels of play for a
variety of ages. At the simplest level (perfect for a
first-grader who knows Arabic numerals and one-to-one
correspondence), kids use only the place track for the 1s. Later,
cards with simple problems are introduced ("Stuck in a tar pit!
Move your 10s dino back two spaces!"). At the most advanced
level, players might encounter a question like this: "Your 10s
dinosaur forgot its pants, so it went back 15 to get them. Then
it hurried forward 25. How far did it get? Move that many." Young
players will find the 2-inch, spunky vinyl dinosaur playing
pieces irresistible. The game offers plenty of opportunities for
friendly competition and brain bending--not to mention lots of
nonthreatening practice at addition and subtraction. --Julie
