Math Games for Specific Topics: Fractions, Multiplication, Algebra and More
Why this matters
Kids rarely struggle with "math" in general. They struggle with fractions, or long division, or solving equations. A game aimed at that exact skill gets far more done than general practice.
When you know the skill a child needs, pick a game made for it. Here's a guide to the topics that trip kids up most, and the games that target them.
