Finding Age Appropriate Math Games
Preschool
Before kids start school, they need to work on one-to-one correspondence. This means matching. Think about setting the table or handing things out. We are looking for things that require one object to go to one object.
Examples include:
- People to chairs
- Cookies to children
- Plates to people
Elementary
Once kids start school, they need to work on counting. This could be straight counting or skip counting. This is a very important skill for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Your kids will need to practice this skill well into middle school. Start with counting by ones, then tens, fives, two, threes, and finally fours.
Middle School
Once in middle school, the time to practice multiplication facts have started. You cannot know your multiplication tables fast enough. The faster you know them the better. Practice makes perfect. By this time in school, you have learned the basics and you are just adding to them. What you are doing is adding more steps. You will get through the steps faster if you know your facts.
Finding Games Online
Since kids love spending time on the computer, the key is to find games online they will like to play. Doing this is actually easier than you think. All you need to do is a simple Google search for fun math games for kids. There are tons of games appropriate for all developmental levels for kids and many of them are free.
As a teacher, I spent hours finding free online games for my students to play in my class. There are plenty of them available to play. You can find car games, puzzle games, animal games, racing games, Sudoku, and many more. You name the interest and you can find a math game to match it! It really is that easy to find a math game to match any interest for any level.
Finding Math Games for on the Go
You can download games for the car as well. Some phones like the iPhone allow math games for the road. Just go to the App Store and browse through the plethora of math games available for the iPhone. While most cost, some are free. Select the ones you want your child to play and you think would be interesting. Then upload it to your phone and your child can play while you are driving or waiting in line.
Finding math games really is easy all you have to do is look around you. Once you start looking, you will find they are everywhere.
