We use math and algebra every day, sometimes without even realizing it, so it’s important that kids get the basic math skills down. Playing games can help them learn those basic skills and master them.

These math games for kids range in age and the type of math that is used. From practicing and mastering addition and subtraction to learning how to simplify fractions, these math games for kids are fun and educational.
I want to thank all my teacher friends and those who responded on Facebook and email to give us their suggestions.
Whether it’s holiday time or around standardized test-taking time, sometimes our classes have downtime to fill. These math games for kids are great for that.
