Amazon.com Teacher Review

Looking for a math game that requires critical thinking while honing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills? Totally Tut may be the answer. The object is to fill your pyramid with triangle pieces by creating accurate math problems. To begin, you draw and place one "answer" number at the top of the pyramid. For example, if your answer number is 4, you will come up with various ways to get to the number 4 using the triangles in your hand (for example, 8 - 5 + 1) to fill your pyramid. The player who completes the first pyramid is the winner. There is a great deal of strategic thinking involved, because you can steal or swap numbers from your opponents to help you win. Because the division and multiplication symbols can be incorporated whenever your child is developmentally ready, Totally Tut can grow with him or her. The directions could be clearer, but, once players get the hang of it, Totally Tut is a great skill-building game for two to four players. --Lauren Bernard is an elementary school teacher and the proud mother of Eli.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning with Totally Tut Math Operations Game, May 14, 2008

Totally Tut was recommended to me when I mentioned to a friend that my son was needing more math games to play. Before I purchased the game all I knew about it is that it would get the family playing a game that would make everyone think in "numbers". We love the game. Not only does it help with math skills, it is fun. The game can be played with children that can only add and subtract or you can add in multiplication and division. A great game for the entire family.

This game could be more fun if they had taken more care in the production. It says ages 6 and up. The operation tiles should be more accurately stamped. When they are placed on the board the multiplication and addition signs are crooked making them look like the incorrect operation (the plus looks like a multiplication). This is confusing for a young child just learning his/her math facts.
There definitely needs to be more green tiles. The green tiles are for the level two game with the multiplication/division. There is only 8 tiles with 2 each of 4 numbers.
The 'red' tiles are not red at all, but the same as the orange tiles. Orange tiles are supposed to be answers for the level one game and red tiles are answers for the level two game. The only way you can tell which is which is because of the higher number on the 'red' tiles.
After reading the reviews on this game I was a little dissappointed, but I can make more tiles and keep the 'red' tiles seperate. It isn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be.
I homeschool my children and need lots of fun and educational games.

We really like this game. I bought it as a fun way to work on math skills. My son really enjoys it. It's a game of skill, but there is also luck involved which keeps it exciting. It is a fun way to hone math skills. The only complaint I have is that some of the playing pieces needed to be glued back together when we received it.
