Not easy for kids without adult help

I have a 5 year old who loves math and after reading the reviews thought it would be great for him. I bought it hoping it would be a good book for him to do while I was making dinner or getting some work done, but it is too complex to use without adult help, so that nixes that idea. Also, despite loving workbooks usually, he quickly got bored with this book and was disinterested. I could have saved my money and just written some math problems on a piece of paper for him and it would have been…

Pros
  • Educational Insights
Cons
  • May not appeal to all children

Reading required for my opinion

I like that this product puts a creative twist on a workbook. With a little help from an adult, this can be fun but it isn't something that can be done without an adult. Reading is required and the pen can be frustrating. I really like the concept, but unfortunately it wasn't engaging.

Pros
  • It's a high-quality, durable product that can withstand the wear and tear that comes from use by active preschoolers
Cons
  • May not provide enough scaffolding for children who are struggling with math

Clever, but not foolproof

Our almost four-year-old is very precocious. In several areas, she is way advanced for her age. While we want to encourage her to learn, we want her to have fun and be able to discover things on her own as much as possible. Since it's designed for preschoolers aged three and older, this set gives her a great start on basic math skills.When I first opened the package and tried to use the pen, it didn’t work. I couldn’t figure out how to turn it on and off. I looked in the box, and there were no…

Pros
  • With over 60 unique activities to solve, it offers a wealth of opportunities for kids to develop their math skills.
Cons
  • May not be accessible to all families

Wonderful activities for preschoolers or any age child!

I love this Hot Dots "Let’s Learn math” it’s perfect for preschoolers or even school ago children. It’s fantastic for learning to count, number recognition, finding the missing number, finding patterns, recognizing different shapes, recognizing the same shape, comparing different size objects, color matching etc! It is way more than just numbers! All 3 of my kids of various ages love working on this. You get a green light and a pleasant sound when you touch the correct dot or a red light and a…

Pros
  • The workbook comes with a set of stylish pens that makes it easier for kids to learn math and reinforces learning.
Cons
  • May not be helpful for children who have difficulty with technology

Great activity book for early learners

Parents who are looking for a self-checking, fairly independent learning activity for their 3-5 year olds will love this one. The activities are very appropriate for any young child who is beginning to be interested in numbers. Most of the activities are simple enough to be done with very little adult direction, allowing kids to feel independent. The "pen” gives distinctive sounds to indicate right/wrong and the single battery seems to be lasting a very long time. The book’s pages are durable…

Pros
  • The Hot Dots Pre-K Math Workbook is an excellent tool for engaging little ones' minds and fostering their love for learning
Cons
  • May not promote critical thinking skills

Makes learning fun and easy!

This is the first Hot Dots workbook that we have used and I am impressed. The workbook is sturdy and durable which is perfect for little ones and the pen is included. The workbook is colorful with images of items that are recognizable and appealing to children. The content is age-appropriate and covers various different math concepts for the Pre-K level. The pen is easy for little hands to hold. You will need batteries as those are not included. There is a volume button on the pen so you can…

Pros
  • It instills a sense of discipline early on, which helps establish good learning habits that will stay with kids for life.
Cons
  • May not be aligned with all state or national standards

Great Learning Activities, Pen & Dots Could Improve

We are really loving these Hot Dots learning activity books. My preschooler loves to count, so this math book is great for getting some counting practice in. I never worked on pattern recognition, and this book includes that, so I’m so glad we’re getting some exposure with that (i.e. circle, circle, square, circle, circle —insert what comes next). It also covers big and small, shapes, the most and the least themes, heavy and light, as well as matching. There’s a lot to learn in this workbook…

Pros
  • The workbook is child-friendly and comes with bright colors and engaging illustrations, so it's immediately attractive for kids.
Cons
  • May not provide enough guidance for parents to support their child's learning
