In fact, fun math games are better than text books! To some children, math can seem daunting and tedious, especially if they suffer from learning disabilities, such as ADHD and/or dyscalculia.

Having Fun With Math Fact Games

All math is built upon a foundation of memorizing simple math facts, which is why finding math fact games can be so crucial to children, especially those with ADHD and/or dyscalculia who aren't inclined to learn as fluidly from a worksheet. Repetition is key to being successful in producing a firm foundation for all other math to build upon. Math Fact Games … [...]

Home School Curriculum: Reading can be fun!

There are so many Home School Curriculum Reading Programs, but most don't address the issue of fun. Some kids just don't like to read and trying to make them read just makes it worse. The worst part is. . . that's why you homeschooled in the first place. You wanted to provide a relevant, superior and "fun" experience for your kids. But reading book after book, … [...]

Math Games for 4th Graders

Not everyone likes math, especially 10 years olds. That's why it's important to play some math games for 4th graders.

But you can't rely on one game to get them up to … [...]

Another math game for kids

The other day I shared with you how darts make a great math game for kids. Well I wanted to include two games in that article, but felt I the article was getting a little long. So I'd like to compliment darts with a fun game of chance kids love. In Europe they call it Super Roulette but here in the states it doesn't really have a "common name" understood by … [...]

Games for kids who don’t like math

I'm excited to tell you about some  simple games for kids who don't like math. Not only are they simple but they're super fun. I hate to say it but I empathize with kids who don't like math. It's not always easy and some of it is so far removed from their lives, I can see why they don't understand what it's for. But it's important and makes life a whole … [...]
