Brain Quest products are wonderful learning tools for children. I own 7 different Brain Quest products and will continue to buy more. Brain Quest Math approaches math problems in a fun and accessible way. Kids love these - parents too! In general, I have found that the ages/grades listed on these products is too high. For example, if the package says it is for a 6 year old, it is probably more appropriate for a 5 year old. This Brain Quest Math is listed for Grade 1 children but it is best for a Kindergarten child - just something to keep in mind when choosing one of these products.
We started my son with Brain Quest series before he was in Kindergarten. He's now 6 & he still loves them! I find them to be: on-target for age/school; EASILY carried for use on vacation or anywhere there is a wait (like grocery store or restaurants); AND there are more than one in the pack -- I keep one in his room & one in the car. I find that there's enough easy ones to keep him going AND enough harder ones to challenge, but not frustrate him. Fun illustrations, too.
I was not familiar with these until I saw them discounted at a going out of business sale. The price was fantastic so I picked up a couple of the different sets since we had some long car drives coming up. Well we just finished a long road trip and these were a HUGE hit. My son was literally begging to play the "math game". What you get in a pack is two sets of questions and answers. Each set is securely bound together and the cards are thick enough to last for a while. There are 5 questions on each card and the 5 answers are on the next card. The cards are two sided so flip the pack over and begin again. There are 5 types of questions on each card, a numeration (patterns, place values, skip counting, and odds and evens), bits and pieces (fractions, dimensions, 2-D and 3-D shapes), computation (addition and subtraction), measurement (time, money, size, weight, amount, and difference), and problem solving (word problems applied to real-life). I took one set of cards and my son took another and we quizzed each other during trip (bonus- he got to practice reading!). This was a game we both really enjoyed and it helped to pass many hours on the road (he enjoyed it so much he forgot to beg to watch a movie :)I was very pleased with the variety of questions that were asked. Addition, subtraction, fractions, etc were presented in many many different ways and with many different wordings. The problems presented seem to reflect the age-appropriate curriculum pretty well (at least for this packet). This was definitely a surprise find on my part and I will be getting more of these in the future.
My 6 year old and I have so much fun with these brain quest cards! They are so portable! We do them when we are waiting in car pool in the morning - waiting in a dr. office - really anywhere there is waiting :) or you can think of it this way - anywhere they are pulling out their DSI's - we have a rule of no "gaming" during the school week - so when I need them to do something else- here is that something else - there is also general knowledge cards - and reading - we do them all - and it is fun fun fun - makes them see the instant gratification in getting something right - not too hard either - but not so easy that its boring - a great product all around!!
I love to share this with my daughter. We both sit down and review the material. It gives me a chance to get involved in her learning and it gives her a chance to know her father as someone other than the guy who attempts to keep her on the right path.
Bought these for my 6 year old. We usually use them while eating dinner. While i like how many math concepts are covered in these cards, sometimes the wording can be confusing for the kids. But overall helpful cards! And I would recommend.
And she won't leave home without them. They have made her realize how much she wants to learn! Makes long car rides more fun for her -- but sometimes seem longer for me ;) kidding -- but sometimes. She doesn't want to stop!
I really like the variety and types of math questions in these cards. They allow me to incorporate math and story problems at a young age.
