5 out of 5 stars Fun Games with Math   August 19, 2000

4 out of 5 found this review helpful

As a new homeschooler mother, I have combed the libraries for helpful books on math to teach and entertain. This book stands out from all the others in its organization and creativity. it is divided into "home" activities and "outdoors" activities for two age groups: 4-8 year olds and 7-11 year olds. There is minimal need for supplies (dominoes, dice, straws, string, paper, playing cards) and the main requirement is your mind. Many of the games can be played in the car; this has been our best use of the book. The most fun part of the new homeschooling year so far has been rolling four dice each and adding up the numbers. Variations on that theme were to roll and find how you could make a sum of 10 or 11 or 12. The book's games can be played as they are described or used as a jumping board to other variations. The games are challenging to adults and children and spark the imagination as to how numbers fit together and further conversation on "what if" questions.

My best recommendation is that after reading every game and tabbing over half the pages to mark the games I wanted to use, I am ordering the book for long-term use.

Enjoy!
