Learning Resources Hammerhead Number Hunt Game, Maths Game for Kids, Addition and Subtraction Educational Game, Maths Games for 5 Year Olds

A great game which supports maths. It is a fun and enjoyable way for a child to learn addition and subtraction. I played this with my 6 year old and he seemed to be able to play it well. The problems seemed just ok for him.It is a well made game, good quality and a great game.

This is such a great game, and a really great idea/design.Each player gets a mini hammerhead shark with suckers on either side of the head.During the game, various numbers are laid out on the playing area.A sum card is then turned over.The players have to race to do the sum in their heads, then pick up the correct number using the suckers on their hammerhead sharks.It is a fast-paced game, the hammering makes it loads of fun for kids, and - most importantly - THE HAMMERS ACTUALLY WORK. Often in games like this, the quirky bit of kit is flimsy and useless. Not so here. The suckers are super sucky, even after many uses.Really recommend this for kids aged 4-6 who are learning numbers and basic maths.

This is a nice little educaitonal game for your children. It will help them with the addition and subtraction. Its fairly easy to understand, interactive by using the hammer to suck the numbers in order to complete the sums. My twins absolutely loved playing it and they are nearly 6 years old.This would look great as a present, or for your own children. The materials are made with quality and look like they'd last a while. It is a bit pricey at £22, I'd prefer around the £10-15 mark, but overall a good game if you're looking for something more educational.

This is a great way for young children to learn basic numeracy skills. The game is well made with a colourful 4 piece foam mat that you join together. This helps soften the heavy shark hammer blows from enthusiastic children! There are 4 hammerhead shark hammers that you use to lift the number cards to solve the number equations that are set by the cards you draw. Once a card is dran then you have to hammer the correct numbers to lift them. Each hammer has a sucker that lifts the cards. The cards are released by pressing the sharks fin. It can take 4 players which can be frantic with 4 children hammering away, but it is very enjoyable. There are several ways you can answer the problem which makes for more fun, e.g. ? +? = 10 so you can do 4+6 or 3+7, you get the drift! Same for subtraction, so it all adds up (sorry!!!) to a lot of fun. It says from ages 5 upwards which is about right for the game, but it could be played with younger children as a find the number or pairs game.Overall excellent and highly recommended!

This is a fabulous number game for children aged 5+.It promotes mental arithmetic (addition and subtraction) in a fun and interesting way.The game is suitable for 2-4 players, each player has a hammerhead shark hammer with 2 suction pads on either side.The number circles are laid out face up, on the foam mat playing surface. The equation cards are laid face down on the side. Players take it in turns to flip over an equation card so everyone can see it and everyone tries to pick the corresponding numbers to complete the sum correctly. First player to collect the 2 numbers shouts out ‘STOP’ and everyone has to stop.If the player has got the equation right, they keep the card. There are extra ‘chance’ cards which add different rules/elements to the play.The game pieces are made from good quality materials. The cards are plastic coated so they stick well to the hammerhead suction heads. It all stores away in a colourful and attractive box.I got this game to play with my 6 year old niece who loves maths games.

Good quality and well made game for my kids. It’s perfect for my toddler to learn about numbers while playing. My 6 yr old love to play this game with his little brother so they played good time together on it.

Really fun introduction to learning for kidsThis has helped my son massively with numbers, and additionWould recommend

All the parts of the game are well made, especially the sharks. It’s easy to set up and explain, but the instructions don’t really explain the chance cards. The idea of the game is good and it was fun finding the addition numbers, unfortunately the addition cards only go up to 10, would be better if they went up to 20 rather than repeating numbers. When picking up the card, sometimes the bubbles would fall off one side, this just added to the fun though overall.Our daughter , 5, grew board of this quite quickly, although enjoyed the shark elements. I’m not sure it’s going to get a lot of game play, maybe if it was played with a few children at once, rather than 1 child and 2 adults.

This makes learning fun. 7 year old loves sharks and math so he really enjoys. It helps him to think quickly when problem solving. Simple and easy rules. Just not for children under 5

Pour l'instant mon aîné a 4 ans et n'a pas encore commencé les calculs simples mais commence à apprendre les nombres. Les règles peuvent être facilement adaptées pour n'avoir qu'à récupérer les ronds avec les chiffres ou le nombre de points indiqué par le maître du jeu. Au fil de l'apprentissage, le jeu pourra évoluer vers les règles officielles avec les cartes de calcul. Le thème et la dynamique du jeu feront que l'enfant aimera attrapper les ronds avec son requin pour répondre aux questions. Dextérité, réflexion et rapidité seront aussi développées. Un jeu évolutif et parfaitement compatible avec l'apprentissage des nombres et des mathématiques. La qualité et l'esthétique du jeu sont aussi très bonnes. Je recommande.

I bought this as a game for my first grade students. It is great for reinforcing their math facts. It is definitely a lively game for students. The hammers are definitely durable and well made.

Quelle super découverte ! Mes filles de 6 et 8 ans rentrent dans l'apprentissage des calculs simples pour la première et dans les calculs un peu plus complexes pour la deuxième.Il est parfois difficile de trouver des méthodes ludiques pour appréhender le calcul et qui soit évolutif avec l'enfant. Ici abordé sous le thème d'un jeu de société avec un requin marteau, les enfants révisent, calculent et apprennent sans même s'en rendre compte !Évolutif donc, je peux choisir les cartes a utiliser selon avec laquelle de mes filles je jouent. Elles sont fières de calculer de plus en plus vite grâce à ce jeuTrès bien pensé, jusqu'au tapis mousse afin de limiter les bruits lorsque le marteau tape la carte.Bravo, super découverte, je recommande !

The best part of this game is whacking the numbers with the hammerhead shark. It works well. It seems exceptionally fun for high energy boys who need to move while learning. The rules for the game are not so good for younger kids but you can easily change the rules and simplify the requirements. Having 2 blanks in an equation could be confusing for first graders, so just don't use the cards for this level, and just say aloud a math sentence and have the kids hit the answer with the shark and suck it up!
