Learning ResourcesSummit Sums Addition & Subtraction Game, Maths Game for Ages 5+ Year Olds, Maths Board Game for 2 to 4 Players

In a nutshell:Things I liked:+ Easy to learn and play, suitable for children aged 4-8 years. Can accommodate 2-4 players, ideal for family game nights.+ Fun and interactive gameplay that keeps children entertained. Effectively teaches math concepts (addition and subtraction) in an engaging manner.Things I didn't like:- Children may find it too easy as they get older and more proficient in maths, although there is still a benefit to practising the number bonds.Do I recommend it?Yes, for younger children (around ages 5-6) who are starting out with basic maths. It is a fun and engaging way to reinforce those key number calculations that crop up again and again - the number bonds that children will rely on throughout their school career. Crucially though, it's fun, so it doesn't feel like that's what you're doing!

This game is being used in a local Primary School where it has proved very popular. It is a fun way for the children to learn and they have been very engaged.The game is well made, robust and features both a Yeti and a goat!

I really rate the learning resources company for their selection of board games and activities. We’ve had the opportunity to review a few items from this company and they’re always very well made and entertaining activities that you can do over and over.This game is another winner with a solid 3d game board that doesn’t collapse partway (as some games can) if you have a slightly heavy handed, excited child playing. There are different ways of playing the game depending on the age you’re playing with and number of players, the rules being very easy to pick up even at the younger ages.My 6yr old has played this on a couple of occasions now and doesn’t see it as learning, despite the game literally being maths questions to move your character through the board to the end. He’s been able to answer them all correctly, either counting on his fingers or using a bit of paper. All the pieces also fit nicely inside the box between play, so you don’t have to fight to squeeze it all back in or risk losing anything.

We've been playing this with our nephew who is well within the intended age bracket - certainly well aimed at 5+ years. Overall this is a lovely set with clear progress evident up the mountain and is easy to setup and get playing. Very impressed - great quality and good value.

I got this game for my 5 year old grand daughter who has just turned 5 recently. I got it for her birthday so I was really glad that it came in a nice colourful cardboard box making it very presentable indeed. If you have a look at the attached pictures you will see what the game looks like and what the box that it comes in looks like. Even the instructions leaflet is in colour. All the pieces seem to be really well made as does the main board with the mountain bit in the middle.You can see in the attached pictures that you have some cards with simple sums on them and a number of blue coloured boulders that are used to count and represent the answers with the correct number of boulders. Each player will also have a piece to represent them on the board, and you use the sums to move that amount of spaces on the board. There are different games or modes of playing so that if you play a different game it can be more suitable for older children or it may be designed to be more inclusive so that other children can also play. However, the basic principles are the same with the sums cards, counting boulders, and playing pieces that move around the board.You can have between 2 and 4 players which is excellent when you want to leave the kids to their own devices and let them play with their friends or alongside other adults, which is what we initially did until the kids were comfortable with what they were doing. You can tell when a game is hitting it's target age group perfectly when you see the children pickup the rules within minutes and know what to do without much adult guidance. It might not look like much fun, but when you know that the winner will get a trophy at the end it can even get very competitive and very enjoyable with a lot of fun to be had along the way.Overall I can't really find any faults or negative points to mention about it at the moment, but I'm sure there will be a few niggley things that popup, but from what I have seen of the game up to now it's an excellent choice, and at £22.00 it's money well spent and I would definitely recommend it.

Good game for the kids to learn their maths. Kept them entertained when they were off school while learning at the same time

This is a really fun game. we even had our 4 year old have a go at this with a little help.Its easy to construct and easy to play. The cards and maths problems are the dice and you can get through a round in about 10 mins.The are always eager to play this and that is no bad thing

This Learning Resources Summit Sums Addition & Subtraction Game, Maths Game for Ages 5+ Year Olds, Maths Board Game for 2 to 4 Players is great nice quality easy to use! Easy to follow instructions good value for money

My son loves this game. He learnt math(+, -) by playing this game. He still keeps playing with it. He is 4.5 years old.

Both my 4 and 5 year old love this game. Easy and fun introduction to math, games go pretty quickly and the variation of cards allows for each game to feel a bit different, especially if you go through and sort out the math problems that are 'too easy' or 'too hard' for your child's level. Highly recommend if you have a little one(s) who is interested in counting/math!

Il gioco "Learning Resources Addizioni e Sottrazioni" è un gioco educativo per bambini, capace di trasformare l'apprendimento delle operazioni matematiche di base in un'attività divertente e coinvolgente. È utile per genitori che cercano dei nuovi modi per insegnare la matematica ai bambini. Il gioco arriva in una scatola con vari pezzi da montare, un tabellone con una montagna in 3D, 10 dadi, 100 carte equazione, pedine con supporti di cartone e una statuetta dello yeti. La grafica è colorata e le regole sono semplici da seguire. Lo consiglio perchè tra divertimento e apprendimento, questo gioco rappresenta un buon passatempo per lo sviluppo educativo dei bambini.

Il gioco è molto carino. Alla fine si tratta di una variante del gioco dell'oca, giocato con delle carte estratte a sorte anziché i dadi. Su ogni carta c'è una semplice operazione aritmetica e il risultato dell'operazione decide il numero di passi da compiere.  Sono inserite poi delle piccole varianti (e.g., ostacoli, bonus, etc.) per rendere la partita un po' più emozionante.​Ho due bambine (6 e 4 anni) e a loro sta piacendo giocare. Coinvolgono anche noi genitori nelle partite, e nel processo fanno un po' di esercizi di aritmetica. Nel complesso direi che il gioco ha avuto successo.​Il gioco di per sé è abbastanza ben fatto, anche se per il prezzo (attualmente €26,40) mi sarei aspettato un po' di più. Potevano includere dei personaggi di plastica piuttosto che in cartoncino. Il difetto più importante è che mancano le istruzioni in italiano, e servirebbero per attuare al meglio le varianti che migliorano l'esperienza di gioco.​​Nel complesso lo trovo un gioco carino, che tiene l'interesse dei bambini ed è anche formativo. Il prezzo credo sia un po' alto, e direi di tener presente quei dettagli che dovrebbero essere migliorati.

Ottimo strumento per aiutare i bambini a familiarizzare con addizioni e sottrazioni, rinforzare i concetti, ripassare e/o aiutare bambini a superare delle fragilità divertendosi, ma soprattutto senza che si accorgano che stanno facendo matematica.Lo uso con dei bambini di prima (primaria/elementare) ed è alla loro portata. Si divertono a montare la montagna, posizionare la capretta (ostacolo) e cercare di arrivare per primi sulla sommità dalla piccola-grande Yeti. E' una specie di gioco dell'oca che si sviluppa anche in verticale, ma anzichè tirare il dado bisogna pescare delle carte: possono essere semplici addizioni e sottrazioni oppure delle carte "sorpresa".Per i bambini che hanno difficoltà ci sono anche 10 pietre (5 per colore) con cui possono fare le operazioni necessarie ad avanzare; il gioco rinforza anche il concetto di operazione sulla linea dei numeri, perchè loro inizialmente tenderanno a contare come "1" la pietra da cui partono, ma una spiegazione unita al fatto di avanzare di una casella in più contando a partire dal primo "salto" è molto più efficace di una spiegazione in classe o a casa!I materiali sono di buona qualità, le regole non sono presenti in italiano, ma comunque facilmente comprensibili, soprattutto non essendo ferree possono essere tranquillamente adattate alle capacità dei bambini nel momento in cui si gioca, per incrementare il livello di difficoltà, e renderlo più avvincente, con l'avanzare delle loro abilità (ad esempio all'inizio si può decidere di usare solo le carte con le addizioni o solo numeri fino al 10).
