More than eighty games and activities in this newly updated edition help kids think critically about math instead of just memorising rules. Group and individual games teach fun, useful ways to manipulate odd and even numbers, prime and composite numbers, common and decimal fractions, and factors, divisors, and multiples of numbers. Counting, calculating, and writing numbers in languages from other cultures provide more practice in understanding how numbers work. Riddles, puzzles, number tricks, and calculator games boost estimating and computation skills for every math student.
