Product Description

Product Description

Encourage math drills through fun game play with Sum Swamp. Journey through the swamp by adding and subtracting numbers on the dice. Includes gameboard, 4 swamp creature game pieces, 2 number dice, and an operations dice.

Amazon.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

    Simple game for drilling math facts
    My son, who I call SmartyPants, is working on addition and subtraction. I didn't want him to have to do a million worksheets. He'd start hating math! So, I went on Amazon and found this fun game. Sum Swamp is a game for kids who understand how to add and subtract already, but just need to practice and or memorize the math facts.Inside the box is a large colorful game board, 4 game pieces, and three dice. The game pieces are shaped like little swamp creatures: a yellow turtle, a blue snake, a red frog, and a green snail. They are cute, but seem a little cheaply made. They almost seem like pencil toppers, but not the eraser kind. To test this theory, I had SmartyPants try to put one on a pencil. Yep, it fit perfectly. So, I don't know if they were just trying to cut costs by buying pencil toppers, or if it's just a coincidence that they fit a pencil perfectly. It doesn't really matter to me, as long as SmartyPants likes the game, and learns his math facts.There are three dice. Two of the dice are green with white numbers, one through six. The third one is white with plus and minus signs ( + and - ). Therefore, the student will practice addition facts with answers up to 12, and subtraction facts with answers 0 to 5. Subtraction was a little tricky at first. The greater number must come first. Negative numbers are a little too advanced for young children. This was only a problem the first few times we've played it. Now my son knows to put the greater number first.It is possible to roll a zero and not get to move at all. SmartPants is always so sad when that happens.Dispersed through out the board are squares with the words evens and odds. When you land on one of these squares, you roll a numbered die. If the number is even, and you are on an "evens" square (like in the picture), you get to advance that number of spaces. If you roll an odd, you stay where you are. When you land on a numbered square, roll the plus/minus die. If you roll a +, you advance the number of spaces written in the square, if you roll a -, you go back that number of spaces.The last unique aspect of the game is the endless loop. You keep going around and around the loop unless you land on the exit square. This is easier than it seems. The most I've ever gone around the endless loop is four times. Most of the time we get to exit on our second or third time around.Overall, Sum Swamp is a fantastic game. It is fun, and educational at the same time. Here are the pros and cons:Pros: Teaches addition and subtraction and odds and evens, fun, colorful, much more fun than a worksheet. durable. Pretty good price, around 15 dollars.Cons: Are the game pieces pencil toppers? I'm still not sure. The subtraction can get a little confusing if the lesser number is placed before the greater number.Here is a youtube video of my son reviewing this game:http://youtu.be/-YfHQ2cTDuc

    El juego es muy recomendable porque aprenden matemáticas a la vez que se divierten. Incluye un tablero, 4 figuras pequeñas de animales y 3 dados (dos de números y uno de símbolos + y -). Con este juego trabajamos el concepto de suma, resta, pares e impares, a la vez que los niños aprenden a respetar el juego por turnos.
    El juego es en INGLÉS, por lo que, a la vez, también se familiarizan con algunos términos en este idioma.
