Sand dollars are the currency of the beach, and can be acquired either from cards or from the food truck-a clever token which moves along the bottom of the draft pool bestowing sand dollars when a player’s choice matches the truck’s location. Along the way, cards in the tableau link up to create sets, scoring opportunities, and bonuses.īoosting the powers of the game are two sand dollar tiles granting special abilities. Cards either depict the street/boardwalk level or the beach level and must be placed accordingly, branching out from a unique starting tile. Four of the cards are readily available, while the other four serve most often as a vision of the future. In Santa Monica, players are building a panoramic tableau of the famed California boardwalk by drafting cards from a pool of eight cards. So let’s hit the west coast to discuss Santa Monica from designer Josh Wood ( Cat Lady) and the fine folks at AEG ( Whirling Witchcraft, Calico, Point Salad). As it turns out, we’ve fallen on opposite sides of the “keep it/sell it” spectrum, and we thought it might be fun to let both opinions fly. Justin Bell mentioned that he might like to put a few thoughts together as well once I was ready to write the review. I had been itching to bring Santa Monica to the table, so I jumped at the chance to write on this title. In reality, there is only so much empty space on the game shelf. It’s not like we throw meeples and dice at each other, though a well-thrown card can cause the slightest of injuries. These differences aren’t arguments per se. We all play the same game, but at the end of the day we reach different conclusions. Quick reference math tables for counting, addition, subtraction, and multiplication.Nineteenth century Irish novelist Margaret Hungerford is credited with saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” In the world of tabletop board games, the sentiment certainly holds true, as opinions often run wild among friends. In addition to standard drills, activities are included (Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality and Match Math). Problem Solver will outline the steps needed to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. Includes the ability to save, review, and share the results for activities and quizzes with others. Multiple student profiles are supported. Equation configuration settings can be saved for future use as well as shared with others. Activities and quizzes can be timed, either as a countdown timer or elapsed time. Includes both multiple choice, as well as, fill in the blank style questions. Intelligent problem and 'wrong answer' generation makes guessing more difficult. Generates simple equations, as well as single step algebraic equations.

Number and order of displayed digits can be limited, allowing for equations to conform to certain learning levels (e.g. Number ranges are configurable, including the ability to require certain numbers to be in each problem and the ability to omit negative answers. Random equation generation for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Squares, Cubes, and Square Root problems. Each activity is based upon the current settings level, so the difficulty will vary based on the student’s knowledge. These activities include Find the Sign, Equality/Inequality, and Match Math (a memory game). Additionally, the included quick reference tables serve as a valuable learning tool. This powerful teaching feature walks students through the steps required to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations. Students can also turn to MathBoard's Problem Solver for further help. This is done by providing multiple answer styles, as well as a scratchboard area where problems can be worked out by hand. More than just standard drills, MathBoard encourages students to actually solve problems, and not just guess at answers. MathBoard will allow you to configure the app to best match the abilities of your individual child/student. Beginning in kindergarten, with simple addition and subtraction problems, through elementary school where learning multiplication and division can be a real challenge. MathBoard® is a highly configurable math app appropriate for all school aged children.
