The integers game (ours has plus and minus numbers) keeps all of us (ages 11-67) busy and interacting and competing -- and gearing up for competition with cousins. It's enormous fun and keeps the grey cells moving and for the young, teaches them visual patterns they quickly translate into calculation.

Well I'd say this game is very fun for people with fast minds and like math (like me)I mean this, the longer you play the better you get, at the beginning of the school year I could not beat anyone and now I'm the second best in the class because I'm the second fastest learner in class.I suggest buying this if you are like 8-13 (i'm 11). If you buy it I'd say you'd probably like it.bye the way the overall rating is 3.5 stars.

i hope you liked my review

As a teacher I am always looking forward to introducing new materials which inspire students to get excited about math. I have used the Game of 24 in single and double digits, decimals, etc. While planning the culmination of my unit, I was thinking it would be great if there was such a Game of 24 that included the integers component. I googled it and low and behold....there it was. The kids really enjoyed the culmination activity and we have been using it for about 15 minutes each Friday since. They really enjoy it! Thank you!!!

24 Game Integers is a great family game that helps strengthen skills with negative numbers. All of us play the game together around the kitchen table. I like that we can play for whatever amount of time we have available (10 minutes or an hour). I first learned about 24 from my sister who had played it with her own kids when they were younger. She gave us the original version, with positive, whole numbers. We just bought this one to sharpen our children's skills with negative numbers.

24 game is fun for math-lovers, and a fun way for less math-able kids to learn their arithmetic. Starting with the Primer versions, then the Single- and Double-Digit 24 games and beyond, all the versions add a new bit of arithmetic to the challenge.

Can you find an equation that uses the four numbers on the card, and works out to 24? It's easy enough to find numbers that add or subtract, but you'll need to be increasingly flexible as you add multiplication and division for the Single- and Double-Digit games. Then redouble your efforts, and try the Fractions, Exponents, or Algebra versions. Wow!

Call us weird, but we like to play the 24 game at the dinner table. Even my game-shy husband gets into the fun. We do use different levels for different kids - our math-major college-student plays with the three-star level of the Exponents or Variables version, while the rest of us play with lower stars, and easier versions. Cheating? Who cares - it's fun!

This is an excellent product...my son's math skills have improved tremendously as well as his self confidence since he's been playing this! He is in 8th grade and has always been an O.K. math student but he now gets A's!! We have a couple of these math 24 games I would recommend them all!!!

This game is for fast minded people. Play it and your mind will become faster and so will your reflexes.
