My second grade daughter was stressing out over timed tests at school, especially substraction. She gets these cards out and wants to play. The rules say to arrange the cards in equations and just "imagine" the plus, minus and equal signs, which is too abstract for a beginner. So I made a simple mat on a sheet of paper with places for the cards and the symbols written down like this ____ + _____ = _____ or this ____ + _____ = _____. Three times each because the goal is to create 3 equations as fast as you can. Anyway, the homemade mat made it easier for her to play and it has really helped her confidence level.

I picked this game up from a toy store this summer on a whim. For over a month it sat on my headboard because I didn't think my 8yo would enjoy it. We opened it up a few weeks ago, and to my surprise, she loves it! It took a few minutes to figure out the directions, but after that, it was pretty simple. We each hurry to create an equation, and when one of us has three, we shout, "Snap It UP!" Each time she gets a little faster, and is learning her addition and subtration facts better.
