We were lucky enough to be sent the HappyCalc Elementary Maths Space Themed Puzzle to review and also the great folks at HappyCalc are providing one for our giveaway. I was really pleased to be involved with this review as it’s great to have an extra resource in helping my boys to learn.
HappyCalc Elementary Maths is a maths puzzle game, teaching numbers from 1 to 10 like something you’ve never seen before! The idea came out of the need for children to enjoy maths. The owner of the company saw that his kids were struggling with rote learning of their numbers and that they found it boring. He wanted to make maths more fun and help kids engage with it more, so that they could build a foundation of enjoying maths and grasp the concepts more solidly.
This maths game encourages children to design and solve maths puzzles while having fun. I tried out this great game with little G who is 7 and probably at the top of the age range for this game as it is suitable for children from four years old and upwards.
The first thing we noticed when unboxing it was that there are so many pieces! 138 in total and they are all of a good handling size for children.
One of the many things which sets it aside from other puzzles is that it can be made different every time, depending on the maths puzzles you wish to make, it’s up to you!

The space theme is super cool and there are rockets, aliens and space ships jumping out in fun and cute ways. Little G was making lots of wow noises so I know that it was really having an impact on him and getting his attention. It’s great to see him so engrossed in something and practicing his maths at the same time…that’s really something as G generally struggles with sitting down for too long with. Well with most things around learning actually, which is not that uncommon with boys his age, but he is lively!
Enter below for your chance to win – good luck!
Eliminating rote learning, the puzzle allows kids to explore and build mathematical equations while they are putting the puzzle together without even realising that they are learning!
