In fact, besides home-schooling parents, they can be used by private tutors and teachers as well. There are variations in difficulty levels within a game that allow it to be played not only between student and teacher, but even between students themselves.  After learning the basics of, for example, addition, parents can play a round of addition games with their children to get them familiarized with the rules. The children can be left on their own subsequently to challenge each other to the Math games. This prospect of a challenge amongst friends will motivate children to brush up on the relevant Mathematical skills. They can then play the Math games like Tic Tac Toe against each other at home or on the move.   Teaching Math to children need not be a chore. With foreseeable need of their Math skills (in games), children can be very motivated to grasp their Math concepts well.
