What Makes Miss Brain’s Cool Math Games Different

1. They feel like real games

Kids can tell the difference between a truly fun game, and one that’s just math drill in disguise. These are games they’ll beg to play over and over again.

2. Each game focuses on ONE very specific skill

This gives kids a ton of practice in the exact area they need help with. Kids learn and improve just by playing the game.

3. Kids of mixed abilities can play together

The games are set up so winning doesn’t depend on speed or how much math kids already know. Winning a math game can be a huge confidence boost for a struggling kid.

4. Built in differentiation

Most games include a “level up” option for an extra challenge. With one easy tweak, kids at very different levels can enjoy and learn from the same game. 

5. Perfect for both learning new skills and math review

Use a game to introduce a topic, practice a new skill, or review last year's math. Your kids will ask to play again and again, which means even more skills practice. 

6. Kids stop feeling anxious and become open to learning

As one math-anxious child told me, “In a game, mistakes don’t count.” Games may be the one place a child can relax enough to learn math.

Tips On How to Use the Games

Most of the games are intended for 2-4 players, which makes them ideal for homeschool, classroom centers, math menus, or early finishers.

Print the game pages on colored card stock and slip into a clear sheet protector.

You can put the score sheet back-to-back in the same sheet protector. You can write on them with dry erase markers, then just wipe off for each new game.

Store the printed game pages in a file folder to pull whenever you need them.
