Fun Kids Online Math Games
Posted on Saturday, October 30th, 2010 at 10:45 am
You can come up with your own set of educational math games. First, you need to identify the area of math you want to teach your kids. Once you’ve identified that, it will be easier to identify the materials or tools you need to make your own educational math games. Here is a list of materials and activities that you can utilize in creating educational math games.
- Cut-out activities. Starting with shapes would be a good idea.
- Colorful pictures and tangible objects (like candies or chocolates – nice to subtract…) are also great materials to use in counting, adding, subtracting and other mathematical solving activities.
- You can use cardboard cut from boxes or other sources to form cue cards and use them as part of a counting exercise. All you need are colorful pens to write down the numbers or math problems.
- Paper and pencils. If you are creating math games for younger children, you can try recognition exercises. Ask your child to copy or draw numbers, so he or she can gain confidence in ‘doing’ math while she or he is learning.
- If you have a computer at home, hit the web and see what online resources there are for mathematics games. Check the age range to make sure the problems and skills are appropriate and match what you are focusing on.
The key to success with educational math games is guidance and patience. You’ll get quality time with your kids filled with fun and learning right in the comfort of your own living room.
