How do board games help with math?

Math can be a challenging subject for many kids, but there are a number of ways to make it more fun and engaging.
One great way to do this is by playing board games.

A recent systematic review of 19 studies found that board games can have a positive impact on math skills in young children. 
The effects were strongest for games that involved strategic thinking, number manipulation, and problem-solving.

Children 3 to 9 years benefit especially from playing board games.

What are the benefits of playing board games for kids' math skills?

There are many benefits of playing board games for kids' math skills, including:

• Improved counting and number sense:

  Many board games involve counting, either of spaces on the board, pieces, or other game elements. This can help kids improve their counting skills and better understand numbers.

• Enhanced problem-solving skills:

  Many board games require kids to solve problems in order to win. This can help kids develop their problem-solving skills and learn how to think strategically.

• Increased understanding of mathematical concepts:

  Some board games involve concepts such as probability, chance, and fractions. This can help kids develop a better understanding of these concepts and how they apply to the real world.

• Improved social skills:

  Many board games involve interacting with other players. This can help kids develop their social skills and learn how to cooperate, communicate, and resolve conflicts.

Board games can be a fun and effective way to improve kids' math skills. If you're looking for a way to help your kids with math, I encourage you to break out a board game!
