## Description

Product Description Embark on a mathematical adventure through the Sum Swamp! This engaging board game transforms learning addition and subtraction into an exciting journey for children ages 5 and up. Players navigate the colorful swamp board, using three dice to create and solve math equations that determine their movement. The game brilliantly disguises learning as play, challenging young mathematicians to think quickly and strategically. Players roll two number dice and an operations die, creating equations that will move them closer to the finish line. Unique board spaces add extra excitement - land on an "even" or "odd" space, and you'll need to roll strategically to continue your journey. The game's standout feature is the "endless loop" - a dynamic challenge that keeps players on their toes, ensuring that no two games are exactly alike. Colorful swamp creature game pieces make each turn more enjoyable, while players practice essential math skills without feeling like they're doing homework. Perfect for 2-4 players. Children will develop basic addition and subtraction skills, number recognition, understanding of even and odd numbers, strategic thinking, and computational fluency. Watch as math transforms from a chore to an exciting expedition, making learning fun and interactive for kindergarten and early elementary students. desertcart.com Kids will have a terrific time learning math skills as they avoid the hilarious pitfalls of the Sum Swamp. Designed for two to four players, this game is sure to develop and sharpen beginning math skills, because the only way to escape the mire is to roll the dice and add and subtract your way around the board. If you're lucky, you'll be able to take the Crocodile Short Cut, although sooner or later everyone gets caught in the Endless Loop. Landing on special squares, such as Even or Odds or a number space, makes things even more interesting; you could get stuck for quite a while. The best part is that this is a game kids can grow with--children 5 to 6 will find it a learning challenge, and older kids can play for fun. The game is an Oppenheim Best Toy award winner. --Marianne Painter P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Manufacturer Math becomes an adventure with this addition and subtraction game that takes kids on a journey through the Sum Swamp. Make your way over the crocodile shortcut and through the endless loop by adding and subtracting the numbers on the dice. For 2-4 players. See more

Review: Fun Way to Practice Math Without Feeling Like Homework - I purchased the Learning Resources Sum Swamp game as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old and it’s been a great addition to our home. It makes practicing addition and subtraction fun, and it keeps my daughter engaged without it feeling like boring schoolwork. It’s easy to learn, perfect for kindergarten/elementary ages, and works great for family game nights or homeschool learning. A fun, educational game that helps build confidence with numbers. Highly recommend!
Review: Modifications to get the most out of this game - This has been the best game to sharpen my 5-6 year old's addition and subtraction skills. He does Right Start Math curriculum which includes a ton of games, but this is hands-down his favorite game. His 11-year-old and 8-year-old cousins enjoy playing too. I wanted to write this review to give some ideas of other ways to use this game to get the most out of it. First of all realize that this game incorporates many mathematical skills - number recognition, numeration (counting), evens/odds, addition, subtraction, and even an introduction to negative numbers (when you land on a number on one of the spaces, if you roll a "-" then you move backwards). This all not only makes it more fun, but gives them more practice on other skills as well. So how do you get maximum benefit from this game? First all be sure that they have some kind of math manipulative to find the answers. The absolute best I know of is the Right Start Math Al-Abacus. It is ingenious in many ways, but mainly because it encourages subsitizing (recognition of up to 5 objects without counting) for more efficient computation. Finger counting works too for some children, but having tools to find the answer is helpful until they have done it enough to memorize the facts. Also, if you have a child that hates competition or does not have anyone to play with, you can have them play by themselves! I know that may seem boring as an adult, but my son was so much happier playing by himself. He would just roll the dice and move along the board until he finished the game. If you only have a younger child that isn't ready for addition and subtraction yet that can play with them, then you can have the younger child just roll one of the 6-sided dice and move forward that many spaces without the computation. If your child struggles with writing or equations, have them either say or write down their equations as they play the game (dry erase boards work especially well for struggling writers). Once your child has pretty well mastered number facts up to 6, buy a couple of sets of D&D dice and you can switch out the 6-sided dice for 8-sided, 10-sided dice, 20-sided dice, and more. Have them play a couple times of week at least and I am sure you will see major progress, hopefully with much less fight than using flashcards or other, less engaging games. My son is now using two 10-sided dice to work on higher numbers, and this is still his favorite math game. Happy playing!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: has the loop exit problem mentioned in reviews from 2016 hence been fixed?**
A: I placed my order November 2018 and there is no issue. You can exit the loop by either landing on the exit, or the 3 and 5 spaces (assuming you get a plus when you roll the operations die.) In other words, they are placed correctly on my board.

**Q: is the dice with only 6 numbers really effective in kid's practice of addition or subtraction?**
A: You could always use a 10- or 12-sided die if they are confident with numbers through 6.

**Q: Can any recent purchasers let me know if you’re getting the “loop” issue? Stuck in an endless loop you can’t get out of?**
A: We play that you go around until you land on the exit. However if you land on the 5 in the loop you will get out of the loop either way you roll. If you roll the + sign then 5 spots forward puts you on the exit of the loop. If you roll a - then that also will put you on the exit of the loop to get out/ Hope that helps in a way!!!

**Q: Why does it say the minimum age recommendation is 60 at the top of this listing?**
A: This game is meant for ages 5 +

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Practicing Math Skills, Get a Higher Number Dice to Make it Challenging
*by O***R on August 6, 2019*

My soon to be second grader has been practicing addition and subtraction skills with me all summer and I was looking for a fun way to practice because flashcards are boring to her. This game's maximum addition fact is 6+6, which for my daughter isn't challenging enough. I went back and forth between getting this and Sums in Space, but I didn't like the Sums in Space board. So glad I went with this game. I loved the swamp board, creature pieces, and the challenge of the endless loop which you can get stuck in and gives a player who is behind a chance to catch up. If you want the game to be more challenging, you need to buy a higher number dice. I bought one here on Amazon that is 12 sided, so what we do is use one higher number dice and one of the number dice from this game, so the equations are definitely harder, but not frustrating for her. For example she sometimes gets 12+6 or 12-5. If you want to make it ever harder, you can use two higher number dice for up to 12+12. We aren't quite there yet, but eventually we will be, so I like that the game can grow with her. The object of the game is to roll and solve the equations and you move that number of spaces. There are some spaces that say even or odd and you roll the dice and if you get the specified even or odd, you can move that many spaces forward. There are also some spaces with a number on them and if you land on them, you roll the plus/minus dice and move forward or backwards that many spaces. The first one to get to the finish line wins. You can move a lot of spaces at once or just a few depending on the equation you roll, so a lot of times it's a back and forth game. I highly recommend this game for practicing math facts, but I also recommend getting higher number dice to keep it challenging. Game is great quality and lots of fun!
