Can you point me in the right direction? Are there any fun math games for kids? Thanks in advance !!
In the past, I have used Math Blaster - they have mini games that teach you math concepts, as well as a host of resources like free worksheets, printables etc. If your kids are older, try http://www.schoolofdragons.com/resources/ - they are more advanced and through game play, project ideas etc, you can make learning a bit more fun. I tried it with my kids and every weekend we're now indulging in science and math projects by their own initiative. Hope this helps Tyler!

The trick is to turn it into a game or mini-competition and you can even make some up on the spot One of the best lessons I had was to teach a brother and sister (aged about 7-8 years old) some times tables. After about 30-40 minutes of going through some methods for teaching the tables, I gave each kid two dice. They had to roll the dice twice to get two numbers between 2 and 12 at one end of the table. They then had to run to the other side of the table where the board was (or a piece of paper would work) and write down the question and answer it (e.g. roll 4 and 11... run... $\displaystyle 4\times11=44$). They then had to run back and repeat the process over and over again. Whoever had the most correct answers at the end of 2 minutes won They loved running about and spent the whole time giggling about the one time when they got 2 times 4 when the other kid got 12 times 7! At the end you mark up and reward the victor with a sticker and, because they wrote down all their answers, you can assess which tables they do well at and those which they are still struggling with. If they are having problems with addition, you can assess that too because the dice values won't correspond with their multiplication questions, although you need to watch what they roll to catch this.
