My boys loved this product, they worked as a team and ended up with this great reward at the end a Triceratops! They had a blast and did this independtly. They were very creative in digging and everytime they discovered a new bone they were thrilled with excitement. Plus the activity book that comes along with it is a great because it teaches about the Triceratops, perfect for o incorporate into our homeschooling.
Read the question, scan the possible answers, and slam the one that’s correct! Better move quickly, though, each game of 10 questions is timed— the faster you get through the questions, the better your score! Incorrect responses are recycled until they are correctly answered. Three levels, flashing lights, and fun sound effects keep players interested.
~ Ages 6-11
The moment I took this product out of the box my 6 year old wouldn’t put it down, he wanted it to be part of his math curriculum for the day and everyday since! I like it as a homeschool mom because he doesn’t particularly like math and this is a great way for him to learn and have fun at the sametime. I also like how the battery back closes, like most Educational Insight products they do not have screw backings so I do not have to hunt in my husband’s tool box for a screwdriver – a coin, butter knife or scissors will do to change batteries.MicroPro 48 Piece Microscope
