Great for continued learning outside of
Let's face it, 2nd grade was a long time ago for me and I can't exactly remember what I was learning. Having Hot Dots refresh my memory on what kinds of things my son will be learning helps me know what to work on with him in daily life as well as in the Hot Dots Math book, like money and measuring.

Not Engaging
My child is very proficient in Math but found this toy to be quite boring. The Hot Dots pens seem to be compatible with other other EI toys so it would be great if they would be sold separately. I do not need multiplexes of the same pen.

Surprisingly, my son loves this...
Bought by my wife's Grandma, my son actually loves it. Usually he hates the "Nanny" schoolwork over the summer, but he actually wanted to do more after she left. Just beginning use, but very impressed so far. Will definitely look into purchasing more.

great for a summer review or jump start the next year
I have found that these are a Great help over the summer so so skills aren't lost or a great jumpstart to the next years math. Also when having a little trouble understanding this are wonderful with its 2 books of interactive lessons makes learning a fun experience instead of a chore. With the hotdots it makes it seem more like a game.

This was a great addition!
This came at the perfect time. The books were the perfect addition to our learning library. We did a few pages a day to make it last and not be overwhelming. My 7 year old enjoyed it.

My daughter really liked this!
My 2nd grader is fairly advanced at math so I thought she wouldn't find this challenging but she really liked it. She said that all the problems were easy for her but she still enjoyed it. For the students who are at the top of their class, I would suggest buying "one grade up" so the student is challenged. It's good review for her and another medium besides online math...

Math Practice
I was given this kit to use and review. My students always love to use hot dots pens so that caught their attention first. Since many of my younger students are not great readers these were an activity we did together. There were two books and a total of 85+ questions that dealt with time, money, fractions, addition, etc. I see these books as a good way to practice skil...

Nice supplemental math product
My daughter is in 1st grade, but we got her the 2nd grade Let's Master Math set because she's already 7-1/2. My daughter isn't fond of math, but see enjoyed using Hot Dots as an alternative change to all of the boring worksheets she does in school. Some of the topics/skills she hasn't learned in school yet (I assume she will in 2nd grade), but she was able to grasp them...

Fun and educational product
I received this product for free to review. My 1st grader enjoys playing with this on her own. She will sometimes just play to hear the different sound effects the pen will make, but she also will try and learn as well. Some of the math is a little bit more of a challenge for her, so this one she occasionally needs help with. I do wish it had come with batteries.

Good Learning Tool
The set came with 2 books and a pen. All the items seem sturdy; the pen dropped on the floor and worked fine afterwards. The books are wire-bound coated plastic and the pages are laminated to stand up to kids! My daughter is in 1st grade so we needed to work directly with her on these books. The packaging was nice and seems able to hold up for storage.

A fun concept, but questions are too easy for grade level
My first-grade son received this. It comes in a box with a handle for easy transport and storage. Inside are two fifty-page, spiral-bound, laminated books of math problems and the Hot Dots pen. Each page contains two questions. There are 85 pages of regular questions and 15 pages of more advanced ones. Topics covered are counting/numbers, patterns, time, shapes/geometry...

Interactive and Educational
My 7 y/o son really enjoyed this toy. It comes with an interactive pen and 2 books that contain math-related questions. Some of the categories are addition, telling time, statistics, counting money, and shapes. It kept my son interested and he enjoyed testing his knowledge with the various questions.

Math fun for 1st or 2nd graders
My 6 y.o. has enjoyed working on math with his new Hot Dots Grade 2 Math set. The stylus is easy for him to use and provides immediate feedback on how he is doing through the use of phrases, sounds, and lights. The following topics are covered in the two included booklets: Place Value, Numbers (expanded form practice, even vs odd), Patterns, Math Vocabulary (addend, dif...

Great for 2nd Grade Math Practice
So I have to admit that getting the grade 2 Math box did not make my oldest as happy as the Preschooler who got the princess box. It is, after all, a school toy. No fooling her :).
Inside a sturdy box was a Hot Dot pen and two spiral bound math books for Grade 2. You will need 2 AAA batteries for the pen; they aren't included. The books are sturdy for repeated use & fe...
