One of the most effective ways I have found to inspire my kids to learn is with the use of games. So, when I was introduced to The Family Game Coach web site I was excited to see so many options for great games to use for family game nights that inspire my kids to learn.
This week we will be featuring several of their great Math games along wit giveaway so stop by daily to see how you can INSPIRE your kids Math education.
The Game of Chips is a great early math game where children roll dice and choose chips based on what they roll. Children who play with dice have better math scores because they understand what's behind the number.
In the game of chips this is taken even further by using the chips to form different addition problems to come up with the same number as they rolled. Example. if you roll a 5 + 3 you have 8, you may then choose the 6 and 2 chip, the 7 and 1, the 5 and 3, or any other 1 or 2 chips that equals 8. Players keep rolling until they can no longer can take anymore chips. The leftover chips are negative points. The player with the least negative points wins.
