Product Details
From the back cover: “At a time when the poor math performance of American school children has labeled us a ‘nation of underachievers,’ what can parents—often themselves daunted by the mysteries of mathematics—do to help their children? In Games for Math, Peggy Kaye—teacher extraordinaire and author of the highly praised Games for Reading—gives parents more than fifty marvelous and effective ways to help their children learn by doing just what kids love best: playing games.”
