Games Can Reinforce Math Skills! 

There are so many benefits to playing games with your child. By simply playing games you can teach important social skills such as communicating verbally, sharing, waiting, taking turns, thinking ahead and enjoying interaction with others. Board games can foster the ability to focus and lengthen your child’s attention span by encouraging the completion of an exciting, enjoyable game. As an added bonus, board games are also rich in learning opportunities. Not only will they practice basic math skills such as counting, patterning, computation and tallying; they will also learn problem solving, strategies, evaluating probability, and critical thinking skills.

Foster a love of math through reading! 

Reading as a family is a great way to start conversations about how math is all around us. Many pictures books focus on math concepts or can be used to teach students that math is everywhere.
