Part of a delightful math curticulum
This is part of a series of materials I bought for my grandson. It's important to understand how this approach to math works.

Terrific! But not!
It is perfect for keeping up with how many days we've been in school! It's well-made and just the right size. My only complaint is that it only attaches magnetically. Something as simple as a bracket to allow it to be bolted to the wall would be nice.

Am fond of the visual
Amazing for school!
