The Quarter Mile Math – “Not quite what I expected”

I purchased this (The Quarter Mile Math) hoping it would be helpful for my 7 and 9 year old to learn their math facts, since they don’t enjoy flash card reviews. They enjoy it somewhat, but they get so anxious about trying to be fast enough to win the races, that they make a lot of mistakes, then get frustrated with their results. When they do use it, we turn the sound off. ( the roar of the car engines or the galloping hoof beats are just too distracting) I am sure that when they have a really good grasp of their math facts, and can rattle them off without much effort..the game will hold more interest for them. For now, while they are still trying to learn them, it just isn’t quite what I had in mind.
