    Math Activities for Kids

    Creative and fun math activities for kids to promote learning.

    My oldest son was an early math learner so we've spend lots of time at home playing math games and setting up math activities to supplement his school work. Along the way I've learned math doesn't have to be all about worksheets and memorization, it can be creative, too!

    For a quick overview be sure to peruse 25 favorite creative math ideas for after school.

    We adore merging mathematics and art in amazing math art activities.
