Fun math games are fast becoming one of the most sought after pastimes. Cool and beautiful people are bent on exercising their brain muscles - not just their abs and buttocks. What about you? And where can you locate fun math games - as opposed to the old boring flash card routine?
Games can be electronic, physical, or involve simple mental calisthenics. They can involve several players or just one. They might require extensive equipment or just your brain. They may be designed for pre-schoolers or college students, the math challenged or mathematicians. Some you play inside, some you play outside. But all of the math games we'll introduce here are fun. We do fun!
What's behind the sudden interest in fun math games?
1. Troubling math scores in American schools.
2. Middle-aged baby boomers desperate to stave off senility.
3. Home schoolers using math games to make math more fun for their children.
4. Growing interest in Vedic Math stimulating overall interest in mathematics (see my developing blog, Get Vedic Math, at Wordpress).
5. And then there's the entertainment value. Math games are just plain fun.
