Join the club. The Essential Maths Kit. Play Games Learning maths should be fun. Children can learn mathematics through games. Games can be used effectively for children of all ages and abilities.
Different games have different purposes and different mathematical value.
Most of the games published in the Play Games section of website are strategy games. They are generally suitable for children aged from about 6 years through to adults, though younger children can play some of them with a bit of help. Although some are number games or probability activities, most are spatial or positional games. The mathematical value of these games lies in the type thinking they stimulate, such as visualisation, sequencing and pattern building. Each game is accompanied by set of questions that are designed to promote higher levels of thinking and develop problem-solving skills.
