Great educational toy for kids!
The wooden pieces don't have any splinters, everything is smooth and nice.
The Velcro works well. The toy is very colorful.
The toy is durable. Easy to use and assemble.
My 3-year-old daughter loves to play with it. And I love it too, because it's not just fun toy, but also teaches visibly how math works.
Also, the size is perfect.
Absolutely great value for the money.
Truly recommend it!

I love the concept of this. It takes math and allows the child to visualize the numbers in multiple ways. It’s also nice to have the blocks to make your own problems as well as the pre set cards.
However, if I were to make a recommendation based on my experience to someone looking to buy something like this, I would say they should look for the following.
- a place to store the cards and blocks. These get really messy since there isn’t a place to put them. It would have been easy to design this will some storage on the back. I would have loved to see that.
- something that stays together. This is easily put together, but it also falls apart all the time! I would have preferred one that is secured together.
- a dry erase feature. The blocks are fine, but it would be great to be able to use dry erase with this.

I really like this math visualization learning tool. Toddlers are often taught at a young age to use their fingers to count so it will be natural for them to look at these hands and see them as a way to count and figure out math problems. The wooden board is lightweight, goes together and comes apart easily, has 2 hands with Velcro that are attached and swivel, and once put together, provides a little shelf for the blocks to rest on. There are 13 double sided blocks, 10 double sided cards, five 5 for addition and 5 for subtraction. (You can look at my provided pictures and see exactly what’s included.). The one con for me is that there should be more cards included with this set, 10 isn’t enough, otherwise I really like it. 4 stars.

I got this for my Pre-K classroom math center. They cannot add and subtract right now. But they can use this for counting to 10 and match the fingers with the numbers for now. We’ll move into adding before the end of the year.
I think this has good educational value and it’s easy for them to use. It’s made well. Everything looks nice and it’s a good price too! I’ll buy one to go with this one so we can go up to the number 20.

This is a great visual math tool for little learners. We recently introduced this tool to my 2 1/2 year old and she loves matching the amount of fingers with her fingers. Velcro works & I like that you have the option to lay it flat or stand it up! Highly recommend for little math scholars!

Montessori learning games are simple designs with lots of learning. This one fits the mold.
(Pic 1) Out of the box. The hands face downward to fit in the box - Easy to twist up into place for use. Keep the box - it's sturdy and good for storing.
(Pic 2) Set up to use.
The fingers move easily, attach to the center circle. Easily detached.
There are ten cardboard cards, double faced with equations for a total of 20 equations.
There are 13 wooden tiles, double faced - 2 devoted to signs - +, - ,>, =. 11 devoted to numbers 0 thru10.
Note that all of the cards are + and - prompts. That leaves the greater and lesser than (>, <) equations to be taught without cards.
The gig is this ... start with a card. Your child will see the equation and the correct position of the fingers. Have her emulate the equation with the tiles and then match the finger positions. Then you get to teach her the math!
After a while, stop using the cards. Parent puts tiles on the shelf, and the child positions the fingers and solves the equation. Finally, the parent is verbal only.
Finally, although the set does not have a multiplication or division tile, and that may be a bit advanced depending on how you want to teach, the number tiles will support it (division, obviously, with a whole-number quotient).
Overall, well-made, great teaching tool.

The only thing I don’t like is the stand is not very sturdy. Kept falling over. But I hot glued it and now it’s perfect!!!

Muy uril para los pequeños de casa q estan aprendiendo a sumar y restar

Material for fingers is cheesy but it will work for the short term with grandchildren. As a teacher do not order for school use.

Nice gift for my niece

This is a nice Summer math sun tool for my Pre K Kiddo.

Great for toddlers very educational

It's a very cute learning tool. The kids love it. Perfect for the price. Easy to use. And I feel like as long as you don't let the kids tug too much on the hands it should last awhile.

Worth the money. Kids learn to do math and count on their fingers. Durable and strong. Great educational product.

Easy to use, my toddler thinks it's a fun counting game

perfect gift

These Montessori math manipulatives are a valuable learning resource that helps young children develop number recognition, counting skills, and logical thinking through hands-on play. In our center, they have been especially beneficial in classrooms and tutoring rooms, supporting individualized instruction, focus, and active engagement in early math learning.

My son is starting to learn math. He’s 3, I knew this was the perfect gift to help him catch on a little quicker and he can visualize everything!

Good but velocity could of been better

Great

My youngest is 3 and loves this toy. It was on a really good sale when we got it and has been so useful in already starting to teach her addition and subtraction. It makes learning fun!

This is great for kids. They really enjoy it. It's fun for them and really helps with learning.

My niece was 3yo when i gifted this to her she use it everyday to play and learn she was very happy with it. Quality was worthy for the price

These are amazing for small kids!

Great grandkids are learning so much even before kindergarten. Smart kids
