As a veteran teacher of grades K-3, I have been using math games to motivate and energize my mathematics curriculum for many years. I am not alone in this endeavor. The following newspaper article gives credence to this fact:
Experts are recommending that parents can really help their children in math by playing games with them.
The research concludes that playing a board game with numbers helped children improve on four kinds of numerical tasks. Those gains were still evident nine weeks later.
So, get out those cards and dice or buy a board game that involves numbers, and be ready to watch your child learn and have fun!
