Maths Games

Why play maths games at home?

•  Playing games encourages strategic mathematical thinking as children find different strategies for solving problems and deepen their understanding of numbers.

•   When played repeatedly, games support development of computational fluency.

•  Games present opportunities for practice, often without the need for teachers to provide the problems. 

• Games support a school-to-home connection. Parents can learn about their children’s mathematical thinking by playing games with them at home.
