I love this and my students do too. Nice tool, easy to use. The magnetic dots are great and I used the almost every day.

This is a great tool for teaching number bonds to students who needs help visualising numbers. The instructions are sparse but with some imagination there are quite a few activities you can do with these. My issue isn't with the usefulness of the product itself but with the build quality. I guess this is OK for home use but as a teacher I do not see this as a classroom grade product; the decal that wraps around the whiteboard will be picked off by the kids.++Pros++
+Clear dark lines against a white background
+Good soft foam magnetic counters that won't shatter or lose strength when dropped multiple times on the floor
+Counter's magnetic strength is just right; not too strong but not too weak that it drops off or move when shaken about
+small light and well balanced for tiny hands
--Cons--
-Lines are NOT PRINTED on the whiteboards; the lines are printed on a decal which wraps around the whiteboard
-Little if any instructions provided and no real activity is listed in the one page instruction
At the end of the day this is just a tool. It is up to you as a parent and/or teacher to use your imagination and creativity to come up with an engaging learning experience for the child. That and you must get your questioning technique right... only then will this tool serves it's purpose. That said I'm no English teacher and it isn't my native language so excuse me if there are any grammatical errors in my review.
