0712 The Dino Math Tracks game (winner of several prestigious
awards, including an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal) is a race around the
rainbow with a pack of pintsize, prehistoric pals. An unusual spin on a
typical roll-the-dice-and-move game, it spotlights the mathematical concept of
place value and gives kids reinforcement in what makes our base-10 number
system tick. Each player is allotted one dinosaur for each of the four tracks
(the tracks are labeled 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s). To play, a player rolls
four dice to create a 4-digit number and then moves his or her prehistoric
posse to the appropriate 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s places. Problem-solving
strategies are honed as players scurry to get all four miniature mammoths or
tiny triceratops into the dino haven, ahead of the other players’ thundering
herds. But look out! In the race to dino utopia, it’s easy to get bumped by a
baby brachiosaurus! The Dino Math Tracks game provides multiple levels of play
for a variety of ages. At the simplest level (perfect for a first-grader who
knows Arabic numerals and one-to-one correspondence), kids use only the place
track for the 1s. Later, cards with simple problems are introduced (“Stuck in
a tar pit! Move your 10s dino back two spaces!”). At the most advanced level,
players might encounter a question like this: “Your 10s dinosaur forgot its
pants, so it went back 15 to get them. Then it hurried forward 25. How far did
it get? Move that many.” Young players will find the 2-inch, spunky vinyl
dinosaur playing pieces irresistible. The game offers plenty of opportunities
for friendly competition and brain bending–not to mention lots of
nonthreatening practice at addition and subtraction. –Julie Ubben From the
Manufacturer Award-winning game reinforces counting, addition, subtraction and
place value skills with a prehistoric twist! Children roll a four-digit
number, then move their dinosaur species to the appropriate ones, tens,
hundreds and thousands places. Math problem-solving cards for various levels
of play add to the challenge. Includes gameboard, 16 dinosaurs, cards and 5
number dice.
