I picked up this toy for a friend's daughter's birthday. My 9 year old son picked it up out of the cart and started playing with it. He liked it so much he climb in the cart, sat down, and played with it the whole hour we were shopping. He learned all of his eights multiplication facts. I was amazed. I am a teacher, and I think this is a great and fun way to supplement learning math facts.

L-O-V-E this product! I just purchased a Turbo Twist Math for my niece's 7th birthday. From the moment she got it out of the package it was an instant birthday party hit. What a kick to watch her, with friends gathered around, all vying for a twist of the dial to solve addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems. Amazing! The fun musical beat and announcer makes this toy a blast. And kids can't put it down...the tactile experience of twisting and bopping makes Turbo Twist irresistible. I'm so impressed that a device designed to teach mathematics--of all subjects--could turn out to be so much fun. Bravo!

I'm impressed!!. My 8 year old son went through the entire second grade struggling with basic math facts. Teacher recommended flash cards over the summer but he hates them. Had the Turbo Twist in his hands for less than a week and he is already up to level 12 and computing three digit addition. He started off using the numbers on the twist as a slide guide but is now doing it from memory. If your kid loves Nintendo and Game Boys, this TOY will keep them interested. Love the headphone jack. I'll repeat...AWESOME!!

One of the previous reviews complained "The skill level can only be adjusted for the Learn It mode". It sound much like the 'Twist and Shout Math products' instead of the Turbo Twist Math! (both made by Lead Frog) I had originally received the Twist and Shout product at Christmas for my children and found them completely a waste of money. However, the Turbo Twist Math is absolutely FANTASTIC!! With the ability to upgrade at your child's level on-line is a fantastic feature. I would highly recommend this 'TOY' as my children have not put them down since Christmas. We have the Spelling and Math. They can take them both in the car, use their headphones and learn, learn, learn. They think it's fun. If in deed you have the Twist and Shout, I HIGHLY recommend exchanging it for the Turbo Twist Math. I think you will be surprised with the difference in these two toys!

I recently bought this product because of all the extra benefits it said it had. If you buy a leap link to go with it you can customize it to meet your childs needs. You can also keep track of how well your child is doing. You can download new games and activites. Well guess what, NONE of these capablities are ready yet. I e-mailed their technical support and they said their web site won't be ready to do all of this until maybe mid-november. So basically they are selling a product that is not ready yet. Isn't that called false advertising? If you are thinking about buying this product WAIT! It does have great potential. I just think they should of waited to put it on the market until their product was ready to do ALL it said it could do!!

I bought a turbo twist math for my 7 year old daughter last christmas and i am thrilled with the results. The progress reports and the up grades that you can get off the web site are fantastic and a great way to keep it interesting for her and to inform me of how well she is doing. My hat goes off to the creators of this wonderful learning "toy". I will be purchasing the spelling version of the "game" soon. Thank you everyone at leap frog.

I bought this for my child to help her with her math facts better. I am pretty disappointed (I should have listened to my husband!) Flash cards would be just as effective and a lot less expensive. It is cumbersome to use and is not fast, even I can only answer 11 facts in 90 seconds (and it is not because I don't know them). I thought it would have be fast and have a snappy beat (along the lines of the Bop It Game. I was wrong on both accounts. It lost its appeal after about 1 hour.

My 6 year old son got Turbo Twist for his birthday and doesn't want to put it down. He and his 5 year old sister love this toy. We bring in with us when we run errands and the kids quiz each other while I'm driving. This is a fantastic and enjoyable toy for all.

I received this toy last year for Christmas and have been learning with it ever since. I usually have to have paper & pencil to figure out difficult subtraction problems, but when I play with my Turbo Twist Math, it's all so easy. Last school year and also during this one, I had problems with figuring out decimals, but my Turbo Twist Math helped me. It's so fun to twist
to the different categories of Math and then use the other dial to answer. The recommended age is 6-10 years, but I got this toy when I was 11 and still love it at age 12.

I loved this! It helped me get all my math facts right. I love how you can change it from times tabels to desimals. The only thing i don't like about it is that it uses up a lot of batterys. This is very educational.
