Too many students think math is difficult. With enough practice, anyone can master the subject. When starting out, it's important that math feels fun. Using these online games, kids can enjoy the process of figuring out tricky math problems. Between the widespread access to mobile devices with WiFi and the preponderance of mobile apps, it's easy to practice while on-the-go. From universities to children's' television shows, a wide range of providers offer well-designed, challenging and entertainment online math games. It's easy to find a game that focuses on any particular math theme. Some of the most common math subjects include counting, fractions, decimals, counting money and telling time. Plus, many games offer solid practice doing simple arithmetic functions. For example, a more challenging fractions game might require adding together two fractions. Some of the games may even inspire kids to create their own real-life games in the same spirit. Having fun is central to learning. When a game uses fun images or familiar characters, it has a better chance of making a lasting impression. For teachers, online games are also a helpful tool in the classroom. Educational games make excellent "rewards" for students who behave well or finish their work early. Parents, whether in a home-school environment or simply after school, can also take advantage of online math games and apps. Learning is more mobile than ever, and children are often more familiar with technology than their own parents. These math games make the most of the situation. As kids master various games, they can move on to more difficult themes, playing all the way. Numbers and CountingThis collection of colorful games facilitates interactive learning.
