Arithmanix brings crazy maths fun to kidEstore.co.uk

Arithmanix is a fast action maths madness game that is perfect brain building family fun.

To play Arithmanix every player is dealt a set of cards that each contain either a number or a mathematical operation such as plus, minus, divide, times. An answer card is then drawn giving a number, each player then races to find a combination of their cards to build a sum that gives the correct answer. There is no waiting around as everyone plays simultaneously against one another which is what makes Arithmanix such crazy fun.

The excitment builds as you race to be the first player to crack the Arithmanix calculation and then turn the timer to put pressure on your opponents to make their calculation before times runs out. Every Arithmanix round throws up new number combinations and a new calculation to crack, in this clever game that you will want to play again and again.

Quick + Simple x Fun = Arithmanix

The Arithmanix crazy maths game can be purchased from the kidEstore.co.uk educational toy shop and is suitable from age 7.

Timetracker in The Independent's 50 Best Back to School Toys

The Independent newspaper published the '50 Best Back to School Toys' recently and made our Time Tracker by Learning Resources their number 10 choice.

Their article read:

A good idea if you want them to do reading for 20 minutes or a timed homework task. Some like to see if they can beat the clock, others just like the reassurance of being in control of their own time. You can choose your warning sound between the colours so there's no excuse for not being clear about how much time is left. And when the homework is done, it's a handy way of regulating how long they can spend on the Xbox or Nintendo. For some reason, they are less likely to argue with this than repeated shouts of "Turn it off" from parents.Where 0870 8745 437; www.kidestore.co.uk How much 24.95
