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.
