My Take

As with any product of this nature, while more engaging than simple flash card review, I would limit the time spent on this to no more than 30 minutes.

For older students (i.e., middle school student who need an extra boost), I would use this as an individual station, NOT as a whole or small group, simply due to the more elementary format.

I have had my own children use this at home, and they are far more engaged for a longer period of time than with simple flash card sets.

How I Use It

I have used this on an ipad with and Apple TV, and with a smart board, as a whole class review. The students love the little fish and movement, and the Hippo's encouragement is a definite hit with the younger students.

As an individual and small group center set, the students encourage one another, and work hard to increase their scores.
