Hammerhead Number Hunt

Cute and easy to add into your math center rotations for addition in kindergarten! Kids started making math equations quickly!

The best part of this game is whacking the numbers with the hammerhead shark. It works well. It seems exceptionally fun for high energy boys who need to move while learning. The rules for the game are not so good for younger kids but you can easily change the rules and simplify the requirements. Having 2 blanks in an equation could be confusing for first graders, so just don't use the cards for this level, and just say aloud a math sentence and have the kids hit the answer with the shark and suck it up!

My young grandkids love this game. Even the two older ones enjoy playing it with the younger ones.

This makes learning fun. 7 year old loves sharks and math so he really enjoys. It helps him to think quickly when problem solving. Simple and easy rules. Just not for children under 5

I bought this as a game for my first grade students. It is great for reinforcing their math facts. It is definitely a lively game for students. The hammers are definitely durable and well made.

This game is so fun I play with my son for homeschool in math and we both really enjoy it I just love he's learning math as well as playing a cute little game

Nice !

Hammerhead Number Hunt is a fun math game, but has limited age play value. It teaches very basic addition and subtraction math skills, so expect to play this maybe through first grade. Our six year old has a good grasp of addition; subtraction is a bit more difficult. This game is ideal for her, and she loves playing it—subtraction cards can be totally omitted from the game, or introduced in small amounts, which is what we’re doing now. The idea is to get five equation card matches to win. Players all play in unison; bubble number cards are placed on the foam game mat, and math equation cards are placed beside the mat. One equation card is turned over at a time; players pick up appropriate number matches with their suctioned hammerhead sharks. There are suctions on both sides to make picking up two cards easy and fast. Cards can be released by pressing the shark’s fins. Additional challenge cards can be added when players are ready for something a bit harder or to make the game more interesting. We’re enjoying this fast-paced game, and it’s helping our child quickly learn basic math skills in a painless, fun way.

Great educational game, is well loved by both my 3 and 10 year old, can be adapted for both children by making a simpler game or a more complicated one for my older child, had been a well loved part of our home education journey! Would recomend

Ce jeu permet de s'exercer au calcul de manière ludique. Il est facile à mettre en place. Les règles sont simples donc compréhensibles rapidement. Le jeu se compose de : - un plateau de jeu en mousse (impeccable pour protéger les surfaces), - 4 requins marteaux dotés de 2 ventouses, - de cartes "poissons" pour apprendre les additions et les soustractions, - de cartes bulles indiquant des chiffres ou des constellations de points allant de 0 à 9 , - des cartes chance permettant de pimenter un peu le jeu). Dès 5 ans, les enfants peuvent s'exercer au calcul grâce aux cartes addition et aux cartes soustraction. Et c'est bien plus marrant d'exprimer l'opération en tapant le plus vite possible sur les chiffres avec les requins ! C'est fun et on se prend vite au jeu ! C'est une super idée pour faire progresser tout en s'amusant !

Ce coffret est proposé par Hand2Mind et offre à votre enfant la possibilité de jouer avec les nombres et plus précisément avec les additions et les soustractions. Il est destiné aux enfants à partir de 5 ans et contient 108 pièces. Ce jeu est là pour stimuler votre enfant au calcul mental. Pour cela, il va avoir à sa disposition 17 cartes d'additions et 17 cartes de soustractions, 4 requins marteau en plastique, 11 cartes chance, 55 jetons, 4 morceaux de puzzle en mousse et 1 notice. Le but est donc de résoudre les opérations présente sur les cartes à l'aide de tous ces petits accessoires :) Bien que le coffret soit en anglais, il n'empêche pas de jouer et de comprendre en quoi consiste ce jeu. Le principe est simple et l'on peut faire varier le niveau de difficulté des opérations en mettant de coté les cartes qui ne sont pas du niveau de votre enfant, jusqu'à ce qu'il progresse et en devienne capable. Une bonne façon de réconcilier les enfants avec les mathématiques "de base" et lui donner le gout du calcul par le jeu. C'est ludique et amusant tout en stimulant "le cerveau" de votre enfant : un bon compromis ;)

This is a fabulous number game for children aged 5+. It promotes mental arithmetic (addition and subtraction) in a fun and interesting way. The game is suitable for 2-4 players, each player has a hammerhead shark hammer with 2 suction pads on either side. The number circles are laid out face up, on the foam mat playing surface. The equation cards are laid face down on the side. Players take it in turns to flip over an equation card so everyone can see it and everyone tries to pick the corresponding numbers to complete the sum correctly. First player to collect the 2 numbers shouts out ‘STOP’ and everyone has to stop. If the player has got the equation right, they keep the card. There are extra ‘chance’ cards which add different rules/elements to the play. The game pieces are made from good quality materials. The cards are plastic coated so they stick well to the hammerhead suction heads. It all stores away in a colourful and attractive box. I got this game to play with my 6 year old niece who loves maths games.

This is a great way for young children to learn basic numeracy skills. The game is well made with a colourful 4 piece foam mat that you join together. This helps soften the heavy shark hammer blows from enthusiastic children! There are 4 hammerhead shark hammers that you use to lift the number cards to solve the number equations that are set by the cards you draw. Once a card is dran then you have to hammer the correct numbers to lift them. Each hammer has a sucker that lifts the cards. The cards are released by pressing the sharks fin. It can take 4 players which can be frantic with 4 children hammering away, but it is very enjoyable. There are several ways you can answer the problem which makes for more fun, e.g. ? +? = 10 so you can do 4+6 or 3+7, you get the drift! Same for subtraction, so it all adds up (sorry!!!) to a lot of fun. It says from ages 5 upwards which is about right for the game, but it could be played with younger children as a find the number or pairs game. Overall excellent and highly recommended!
