Great product. Good size for all to see. Back and front of coins allow easier recognition for students. Sticks well, with no tugging to remove.

I love the size and the design but the magnet is not very strong and the money slides down the board. It would be great if it were made with a stronger magnet.

Used this for three months in a heavy usage children's museum environment. We made up our own word problems for kids to solve, but saw parents and children come up with a large array of different ways to use the pieces. Great double-sided graphics, very appealing to handle, and all the pieces are still intact.

I love this product simply because it's magnetic!! I have a paper number line that is taped around my classroom. It is constantly falling down. The corners bend on paper number lines and they look shabby after awhile. This one is perfect because I can stick it right on my magnetic wipe off boards which I have on two full walls in my classroom. The numbers are clear. Odd and even numbers are highlighted. You can use the four sided frames to count school days or add/subtract. One suggestion may be to expand the numbers to include at least 10 negative numbers. Also, it would be great to continue the positive numbers up to 180. This way, teachers can use it to count school days in their calendar routine all year long.

The set is very good and I have used it a lot with my teaching of money for the children in my class. I have used it for coin and note recognition. It is also easy for the children to move around to make different amounts. The only problem is that in this particular set the $1 coin is not accurate... there is actually five kangaroos instead of the four that is on these ones, so I have had to tell the children that on the real $1 coin there is five kangaroos. I also felt that it was important to mention to the children that the Australian 50c and $1 coins are used for commemorative events as well, so the designs may change.

This product is absolutely perfect; the only thing I would change is that it would come with more nickels and dimes so that you can actually count up to a dollar. I had to buy two sets in order to do this.
