OsmoMath Wizard and The Amazing Airships iPad & Fire Tablet-Ages 6-8/Grades 1-2-Mental Math Addition & Subtraction-Curriculum-Inspired-STEM Toy-Kids-Boys & Girls Base Required(Amazon Exclusive)

We have enjoyed seeing our son be excited every time he takes out the iPad to use his various Osmo learning games. The math game has been one of his favorites and he loves to use his critical thinking skills combined with his problem-solving to make potions and participate in several other math games that are offered with the Math Wizard app offered by Osmo.

Wonderful for my 6 yr old 1st grader

My six year old received Osmo (for the I Pad) for Christmas and I just added this game to our collection. This is by far his favorite one. He played it for about an hour and a half the first time and kept saying "This is so cool!" when he would make a potion. Today he asked to play this game instead of asking to watch videos or play video games. This is a complete win in my book.The set comes with a small board, small plastic squares and long ten-frame squares, and a potions booklet that kids put stickers in as they learn new potion recipes. The set overall isn't as nice as the starter kits and doesn't come with nice plastic storage boxes for the small plastic pieces. It's all stored in a cardboard box with a magnetic lid that seems okay but just isn't as nice as the plastic storage boxes we've gotten in other sets. For $60 I would expect a little nicer storage, but it's not a deal breaker for me.The actual games are really fun, according to my son. For the potions game, kids need to add certain ingredients in certain amounts. So in one column they might need two purple feathers and in the second column three mushrooms. Then they need "sparkles" to make the potion work. You need one sparkle for every ingredient, so they need to add up their ingredients to figure out how many sparkles are needed. It's done in such a way that it's pretty easy for them to miss that they're actually doing math, and it really just feels like a cool game. As they help more characters by giving them potions, they receive "joy" (in the form of points) that can unlock other rooms and items inside the room. These other games work much the same way and again feel more like just a fun game than actual math.I did need to be close by for some parts, as my son can't read yet and for some reason not all of the dialogue is spoken aloud. If your kid is a good reader then they can probably manage this game on their own. The math gets more difficult as your kid progresses, and after a couple hours we're already learning new things. I actually used this as math instruction since we're homeschooling this year due to Covid. My kid thought he was getting to play instead of doing school, which was great for both of us.So overall, this is totally worth it and if you're on the fence at all I'd say go for it. Is it overpriced for what you get? Yes, probably so. Is it worth the money? For me it is. I think it depends on how much use your kid will get out of this and how much they enjoy it. For us, this was a home run and I really hope they make more games like this one for Osmo.

Everything work out good thank you I got them and it looks good

I honestly bought all of the osmo learning products to help my daughter with reading and math and coloring etc. this one was very limited and seems to only keep her interest for 5 to ten minutes and doesnt really go beyond that for imagination etc. It doesnt grow with her and after a few times playing with it, it sat in a box. You are better off buyin a subscription or using your schools clever account

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after reading so many mixed reviews on this Osmo game... I am currently a reading and math specialist and have worked in education for over 20 years. I am also mom to a 7 year old who can at times be very reluctant to engage in learning activities... My daughter is currently in a 1 month Holiday Break and Math Wizard has been a life safer!!! She plays on it everyday for at least half an hour and enjoys doing so... The game reinforces different math skills in a way that is easy for her to grasp, using visuals and manipulatives to represent quantities. She has been using it for a little over 2 months and there is enough replayability to keep her interest. Also, as she gets better on her math skills it automatically increases the difficulty level. I get that some are expressing that $60 for an Osmo game is a steep price, but considering how much money parents might spend on tutors, Outschool classes, etc. I say this is a SMALL price to pay for maintaining and developing math skills in a way that kids really enjoy... I can only wish that I had this game when I was younger.... I would have loved it! Just like my daughter loves it now....

This is a very well designed game. My daughter loves dragons and this game has several features that kids enjoy. You find (like hide and seek) new dragons in different lands, you measure their length in cm and inches. You offer them different foods to see what they like and you have to be sure they get enough on their plate. You earn badges and there are several ranks to pass through on your way to master dragonologist (it was something like that). Sometimes the dragons give you eggs to raise in your dragon reserve and you can feed them and name them. There is a book that you use and there is space to take notes as you go. My child loves this because it's her own dragon notebook where she can write down what she learns. It has the names of the different dragons and where they love and what the can do.There are a few other games that come along with it and those are fun too. This is the best osmo game so far. The magical workshop is right up there it too and they operate out of the same app. Magically workshop send to have more math based tasks thank this one but it is still great. I was very impressed with this game.

Kids love it and it’s great for having kids learn without them realizing it.

Osmo products are well thought out and this one comes complete with storage boxes.Our 5 year old grandson is a BIG Harry Potter fan so spell making whilst learning is ideal. The multiplication kit is next on our list of purchases,

This is another great educational game for any ability. Different ability settings and areas covered.

Even my 3 year old wasn't challenged by this game. You measure each dragon once with a ruler then place food cutouts on a box. That's it, over and over again. The rest is fluff. I am not sure what kids are supposed to be learning at all. There is no math, no comparison, no estimating, nothing. Completely misleading. The physical part of the game is well made, but the app it self is poorly done. No sound effects when the dragons eat, the art is really low resolution. Sometimes the dragons don't quite match the book which is also confusing. Really disappointed.

Got for my grandson, who 7ys old is being home schooled this year due to covid as well as being deaf. He needs to read lips, As mask do work for him. As all kids, who likes sitting and doing school with there parents. When his mother brought this out for him. He says no no.. few mins later you couldn't get him away form it. I will be buying more OSMO for him. Also his 4 yr brother is doing very well in math also now !

We literally have a flashlight shining down on this to make sure the lighting is perfect and it is still not picking up the pieces properly. Very frustrating!! It picks them up and then some disappear and reappear etc so even if my child has the answer correct it is telling him it’s not. Confusing him more than anything. Disappointed!!!!
