Fraction Games for Kids that Are Actually Fun

August 29, 2018

Fun fractions games for kids. Good for visual learners.

My neighbor’s mom is a math tutor and she likes to discuss how “Kids these days just don’t get fractions!” (Be sure to say that in a New York accent.) Whatever the reason, fractions can be difficult to understand. However, after you play these fraction games with your kids, they will have them figured out 100%. Okay,…

DIY Summer Math Camp: Budget-Friendly Activity Plans

April 21, 2016

Summer Camp Mathematics for kids. A stay at home summer camp.

Summer camp is really expensive. Maybe not where you live, but in our area, sending one kid to camp costs thousands of dollars. I’d love to be able to tell my kids to keep themselves busy with free play 24/7 for 2 and half months, but then there is a lot of sibling fighting, and…….

Math dice games for kids. Make math fun.

T Puzzle (Boggle Your Mathematical Mind)

July 16, 2015

T puzzle is a brain teaser that is harder than it looks. Free printable and the solution.

Camp Mathematics is all about exploring math in FUN ways. No worksheets, no drills, no forced memorization of facts. Brain teasers and puzzles are one of my favorite ways to stretch the kids’ minds and they may not even know they are working on their math skills! Sneaking in some out of the box thinking with…

Magic Squares Math Fun

July 9, 2015

Magic square is a math puzzle game for kids.

If you are like me, you’ve heard of magic squares but you’ve never actually tried your hand at solving one. Since this week’s theme for Camp Mathematics is computing I figured getting my kids to try their hand at a magic square math puzzle would be a good a mathematical recreation activity. After all, my…

Simple Counting Game to Teach Subtraction Skills

July 2, 2015

Counting game to teach backwards counting in preparation for subtraction.

We are kicking off the first week of Camp Mathematics with a simple, quick and fun counting game. This math game looks deceptively simple but it exercises kids’ logic and reasoning skills. It’s a good early math activity in preparation for addition and subtraction but I played a few rounds with my soon-to-be 5th grader and…
