The Dino Math Tracks game (winner of several prestigious awards, including an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal) is a race around the rainbow with a pack of pintsize, prehistoric pals. An unusual spin on a typical roll-the-dice-and-move game, it spotlights the mathematical concept of place value and gives kids reinforcement in what makes our base-10 number system tick. Each player is allotted one dinosaur for each of the four tracks (the tracks are labeled 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s). To play, a player rolls four dice to create a 4-digit number and then moves his or her prehistoric posse to the appropriate 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s places. Problem-solving strategies are honed as players scurry to get all four miniature mammoths or tiny triceratops into the dino haven, ahead of the other players’ thundering herds. But look out! In the race to dino utopia, it’s easy to get bumped by a baby brachiosaurus!
The Dino Math Tracks game provides multiple levels of play for a variety of ages. At the simplest level (perfect for a first-grader who knows Arabic numerals and one-to-one correspondence), kids use only the place track for the 1s. Later, cards with simple problems are introduced (“Stuck in a tar pit! Move your 10s dino back two spaces!”). At the most advanced level, players might encounter a question like this: “Your 10s dinosaur forgot its pants, so it went back 15 to get them. Then it hurried forward 25. How far did it get? Move that many.” Young players will find the 2-inch, spunky vinyl dinosaur playing pieces irresistible. The game offers plenty of opportunities for friendly competition and brain bending–not to mention lots of nonthreatening practice at addition and subtraction. –Julie Ubben

I got this for the kids on the assumption that it would help to teach math. Honestly, it doesn’t teach a great deal of math, and even that not in a very rigorous way. Just some very basic basics, like recognizing place value (what’s the difference between 1, 10, 100, and 1,000 for example—and which are which?) and counting. And as an adult, I have to say that the game seems boring, repetitive, and unimaginative to me. BUT, with that said, this game is an absolute favorite with my five-year-old, who wants to play it all the time still, months later. And while my six-year-old isn’t quite *as* enamored with it, she still says okay every time, enjoys herself, and gets into the game. So as with so many things in life, even if it seems dull to an adult, it can still be absolutely absorbing to a kid. And even if it doesn’t teach all that much math, it’s still G-rated and has numbers and counting in it. When you compare to all the other “absolutely absorbing to a kid” stuff that’s out there in the world today, those properties make it stand head and shoulders above much of the rest.Read more

The idea for the game is fantastic – your kids learn counting and place value (Age 4.5 +). Plus, the harder cards mean they could also learn more complicated operations like addition and multiplication (for Grade 2 or 3) That said, the card stock should be higher quality. The winding track is also very hard to follow with so many dinosaurs on the board – a straight track would be a big improvement. Lastly, my child gets really frustrated when his game piece is the woolly mammoth and the card says, “Move your dino ahead…” A woolly mammoth is not a dinosaur. Thus, all the board pieces should really be dinosaurs! These improvements would make this game a 5 star!Read more

We are a homeschooling family and I purchased this game for my daughter who just started 2nd grade. I must admit, I had put off buying it for months, but so glad that I finally did. It’s a cute way to introduce and teach some basic place value concepts. I mean, who doesn’t love dinosaurs? I can see this being a favorite game for a while and saving it for her little brother (who’s 2 and loves playing with the dinosaurs).Read more

This is a very well thought out game that introduces place value, initially. It grows as your child’s knowledge grows. We started out with 1’s and 10’s place, and then added as my six year grandson master the concept of counting by 10’s easily by moving into the hundreds. Then, added the next level reaching the thousands. We then added the feature of saying the whole four digit number before beginning the moves. He loves to count out his dice to create battles with the dino figures, as well. Strategy! After this is all mastered, the next provided feature are the cards that introduce and practice multiplication! The longer we play this game, the more I appreciate the learning/teaching features. It is a great addition to his math mastery!Read more

Purchased for my 5-year-old. This is a fantastic game! It’s got several levels (we’re playing the easiest currently) with two different card sets that are used for the harder levels. The dinosaur toys are great for keeping a younger kid’s interest. Strongly recommend as a math game that will actually keep a kid’s interest. We own a lot of different math education games, and this is turning out to be one of our favorites.Read more

Fun game. My kids like the graphics and dinosaurs. At the end of the turn, you can pick a card with a math equation to solve. The questions are maybe 1/2 too hard for my 7 year old which is too bad because I don’t see her playing this on her own within a couple of years when those questions might be about grade level. I could sort them out too if I really wanted though. The box breaks easily and the cards are made out of paper, so I would probably laminate them before using in a classroom and then they would be good.Read more

The game is well made, but my kids are bored with it. They’re in 1st and second grade, and it’s just far too easy. The game is over in less than 10 minutes every time. What fun is that? For the price, we expected more. I’d return it but we already played it. And then played it again thinking we did something wrong. I’d spend your $ on something else.Read more

This is an excellent math game! My boys love dinosaurs and they love this game! They play this game for an hour or more. They don’t even realize they are doing math and learning. I wish there were more games like this for learning math skills.Read more

Brilliant, This game has really helped my year 1 children with place value. I would say for independent play it’s suited for year 2 onwards, But I use this to help my sons in year one as they are just learning place value.Read more

My 5 year old dinosaur mad son loves playing this game. Good for learning place value to thousand but also some addition/subtraction/division/multiplication practice when answering the problem cards. A simple game but enjoyable and educational.Read more

Padrísimo para reforzar mates simples o no tan simples y conteo de unidades, decenas, centenas y millares y como el tema es muy atractivo, lo hace muy llamativo para los peques. Hay que mencionar que está en inglés así qur hay que apoyar a leer las instrucciones y tarjetas.Read more
