Games for Young Minds

Games for Young Minds aims to help parents and children learn to love math through the power of play, using board games, puzzles, and other activities that you can try at home. Each week, math teacher Kent Haines shares a game or activity you can play with your child, along with some suggestions for how to start conversations about the mathematical ideas and strategies that they may encounter naturally in these games.
