Full Description

This brightly colored calculator with an over-sized LCD screen is the perfect child-friendly tool for reinforcing basic math skills. The simple four-function calculator sets up the problem exactly as young students are taught to write it out. As they carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems, the display window shows the entire problem — not just the last number entered. A great way to introduce elementary school children to using calculators for more difficult problem-solving. Requires 2 “AA” batteries (not included).

    My son loves math, and my son likes to play with my calculator. I thought this would be an excellent toy for him because unlike a regular calculator where you type in each number then get an answer but can’t see the whole problem at one time, this one displays it just as you would write it out. This is helpful for visually seeing all the parts of the problem and I think it reinforces math skills.

    The down side is there are no “games” to this. it is just a calculator, but if you have a kid who likes to play with your calculator, this is a much better choice.

    There are an add, subtract, Multiply and divide function. You can do decimal numbers too. There is no % or square root button. There is no back button. No other features that might come on a standard calculator, but most kids don’t know what those things are anyway.

    With the decimal numbers, this little gizmo will line them up just the way you would write them out, which is nice.

    All in all, this isn’t going to be the most fun toy – but I think this IS an ideal kid’s calculator.

    The See N Solve Visual Calculator is really useful for helping young ones who are just learning their math skills. To actually see the problem on the screen is very productive to understanding what the child is doing. I, as a grandmom, had a hard time pushing the numbers, but that may be just me, because my grandson has no problem at all. I would recommend this as a gift or an aid to help with math.

    My grand nephew loves this toy! He learns while he plays and the toy is very well made. It was an excellent gift for Christmas!

    I love the fact that this calculator puts the equations in the form they are learning in school. You actually get to see the equation, not just the answer. AND it shows the dividing “bridge” in division, not the dash with dots over/under it.

    I think it helps my son see the equations in a form that is meaningful because it’s how his teacher does it & how it is on his homework. He’s 6 & thinks it is fun to just sit around & practice with equations, testing himself before he hits equal for the answer. Glad I bought it.
