Why should I play maths games with my child? 

Children make progress best as mathematicians when they regularly repeat skills and practise them until they become embedded. This can be quite a long process sometimes, and so the use of an exciting game or activity can be highly motivating. In our experience, children learn best when they are having fun and that's what games are for!!
