works for some kids . I knew when I purchased this toy for my 5 year old son that is was hard to read. Knowing his personality and what toys he has been attracted to, I bought it anyway. He loves it. It doesn't bother him at all that it's difficult to read. I think it's good because it makes him work harder and think more, the answer doesn't come quickly like in an electronic game. He quickly loses interest in electronic games, wouldn't tolerate flash cards so I'm glad that this alternative is available.

Small World Express the Pluses and the Minuses Reviews
Hard to see numbers. . I had one like this as a kid and it was very helpful. I bought one for my son and daughter. They don't seem as interested, but the numbers are a little hard to see when you push the buttons. I guess it could be because I'm getting older!
They have used it for reference on occasion, but not really wanting to use it for the memorization.

Small World Express the Pluses and the Minuses Opinions
Just like I remember! . I remember these from my elementary school days and was really happy to find one while looking for something to use for my son's basic addition and subtraction fact drilling. I saw the twist and shout thing, but I didn't want to throw yet another noisy, battery operated toy at my children, especially for educational purposes. I'm so glad I went for the throw back! Yes, the answers are a little hard to see behind the opaque buttons, but if used in a brightly lit room the numbers become perfectly clear. A little "problem solving," if you could even call it that, and you're good to go. My kids were very excited about this, especially when I told them I used one when I was little, and I had to referee which child could hold it to avoid fighting!

Math made easy . This product was just how I remembered it when I used it 30 years ago. Yes the answers are hard to see until you press down real hard. But that is how it was 30 years ago and I did not expect anything different. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to teach their kids addition and subtraction.My children look at it like a computer and love playing with it. It gives them instant answers when they press down and they like that satisfaction.
awesome educational tool . I didn't purchase this for fun value, but, it's educational value is awesome! Even my 4 year old walks around pretending it's a calculator all the time! He's learning and is having too much fun to know it. Good purchase!
Great learning toy! . Bought this for my niece, as I had one similar as a child and she loves it as much as I did! It's a fun way to learn addition and subtraction!
Plus-Minus Chart Toy . Big problem... the answers are not printed on the key above. They are underneath the key, so that when you depress it, you can see through. The problem is the numbers on top are over the number underneath in many cases, which makes the answer harder to see. I really prefer the ones where you can clearly see the answer print above.
Useless . I was so excited to receive this to help my 5 year old with her addition and subtraction. You are supposed to press on the button and "magically" the correct answer appears.
No magic here! The answers are simply underneath and as you push, the correct answers underneath are supposed to become more transparent or visible (similar to using tracing paper and placing it over something you want to trace. The closer the tracing paper is to the image you want to copy, the more clearly you can see it.) Well, neither my daughter nor I could even make out what the answers were. How are we supposed to read THROUGH a plastic button? It made no sense.
This was really a disappointment and such a waste!

Great math tool for young children . It is a good educational toy for young children to learn simple addition and subtraction.It looks very durable too!
Cons Review
Exactly like the one I had as a kid! . This is exactly like one I had as a kid. There are no electronics to break or wear out. Some of the reviews said they couldn't see the numbers... yes, you can. The numbers don't light up, but they are there and little fingers and eyes have no problem seeing the digits. My kids (ages 3,5,7,7&9) have a wii, but we try not to get then every little fad learning game that comes along. These are great for them to learn number patterns and how the equations are related. I would recommend this toy to any one whose kids don't need the latest and greatest to be entertained!
