Math? Fun & Games?

Remember when math was all tedious flash cards and drills?  How lucky are kids are today to have some fun ways to grasp their math facts. My kids are constantly borrowing my smart phone or laptop, to pass time and I make sure it is loaded with thinking games.  The best part is they are calm, content, focused on these games and LEARNING!!  



Here are some great games put together by the National Council Of Teachers of Mathematics.
