Kids Can Love Math!

The mention of 'Games' captures the attention and focus of all young students

, especially those from 7-12 years old. Imagine being able to let your students learn Mathematics through playing Mathematical games. This can produce an enormously positive effect on your class. Picture the amount of energy and motivation that children have as they play a competitive game of sports or video game. You can find such Mathematics games by googling for Math Printables. There will be free games that you may download to play with your children.

Most of the Math printables available online are topically focused, and can be easily played in any class setting, as long as everyone has a pencil or pen. They may be used by class teachers, private tutors, or even parents. Some of the better games have variations in difficulty levels that allow it to be played not only between students themselves, but even between students and an educator.

The games can be especially beneficial if students are able to play it amongst themselves. After introducing a game of multiplication in lesson, the prospect of a challenge amongst friends will motivate students to brush up on the relevant Mathematical skills. They can then hold little intellectual battles (constructive ones of course) after school or even in between lessons.

In one instance, after playing a multiplication game with a class, the children were so excited that they pestered me relentlessly for copies of the game (on photocopied sheets) so that they could play amongst themselves. I was even more surprised when some students who were previously not interested in Math at all started learning their Times Table in order to challenge and beat their friends to the game.

Making Pen and Paper Math games available to students is an excellent way of allowing students to revise or learn at their own rate. Furthermore, students sacrifice but the time they would have used to idle or make mischief. It would be more advantageous if elements of Math can be included in their play time, without making it too obvious that they are actually studying. This gives them the chance to revise their basic Math skills and everyone stands to gain. Not only are students happy, but their teachers and parents as well. It is a very rewarding experience on the whole, even though it may take a bit of effort at first to clarify the rules of the Math games to the students. What is most important, however, is that learning can be inspired in this simple manner.
