Teacher Review
Leap goes on a birthday hunt in this engaging book designed to teach fundamental math skills to kindergarten-age LeapPad users. The rhyming text leads Leap from place to place--the zoo, the park, the junkyard, and more--where he gathers hidden number clues that will open the combination safe at the end of the book, revealing his present. (In case kids lose track, all the clues are repeated on the last page.)

Buy Leap 1 Math Book: The Birthday Hunt by LeapFrog

Simple math games teach number identification (in word and number form), counting from 1 to 20, shape identification, simple sums, sorting and categorizing, patterns and sequences, and counting money. Unlike some electronic learning toys that simply give kids abstract math problems, this one offers effective graphics with visual clues, such as grouped objects and circular arrangements of numbers that help children grasp the concepts and solve the problems. --Elisabeth Fredrickson, mother of three and former English teacher
