I love that my five-year-old son has recently gotten really into simple math. He could spend an hour talking about numbers. On the other hand, as much as I enjoy watching him absorb these new concepts, there are times when I am just tired of helping him add 7+2. It's sort of how I felt about talking about Pachycephalaurus during the dinosaur phase. Awesome! But, also, Enough Already.
Enter this awesome and very low-tech toy:
Math Keyboard - The Pluses and Minuses from Small World Toys
Each button on this little beauty is printed with a simple addition problem. When the button is pressed, the solution becomes visible through the translucent plastic. This is accomplished by simple mechanics. There are no batteries, no lights, and (mercifully) no beeps or music or any sounds at all.
My kid and I both love it, for the fun he's having with it and for the utter simplicity of it. Yay for math!

I had one of these when I was a kid!
