Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Learning Mates Monkey Math is the fun way to learn simple addition! Just hang an equal number of colorful bananas from each of the monkey’s hands. If you’ve done your addition correctly, the monkey will look straight ahead and his arms will be level. If the numbers are not equal, his eyes will be crossed and his arms will be up and down. That means it’s time to try again. This unique, educational game includes a monkey scale, fifteen banana number tokens and a detailed instruction booklet showing how to make learning simple addition a whole banana bunch of fun!

Product Description

When the bananas balance, the eyes on the 7 3/4 H. x 9 1/2" W. plastic monkey look straight ahead. If the scale doesn't balance, the eyes will be crossed. Includes instruction booklet. Ages 4 yrs. +."

My 3 yr old and 5 yr old like this toy. It gives them another way to conceptualize addition besides counting on their fingers. It is a good, tactile learning aid. They also like playing with the bananas in other ways (lining them up in order, feeding them to the monkey, etc.). They already have some math concepts from the LeapFrog Math Circus DVD (excellent!), so this is a nice addition to that.

I purchased Monkey Math for my four-year-old granddaughter whose mother is a Kindergarten teacher. I think Mom was more impressed! She feels that this is something that she can incorporate into her classroom to help her students comprehend math basics. As well, she felt that it teaches the basics of Algebra. Both my granddaughters (2 and 4) were enjoying playing with this game. I would highly recommend it!

A banana number missing from the sealed box and the quality of construction was much less than anticipated. I will be surprised if it lasts 4 months.
