Making Math Fun!
Games provide a home-school connection that is motivating and easy to encourage—unlike many traditional tasks. Nighttime battles around the kitchen table over completing 50 worksheet problems do not endear mathematics to anyone at home. But a game that parents or siblings can play with students supports learning and develops positive attitudes toward mathematics that can last a lifetime.

One of the most effective ways our teachers help students master their math facts, and build math fluency is by playing games. Dimensions Math, Harbor Day School’s math program, provides many engaging and creative ways to help students reinforce their skills through games. This is also something that you can do at home with your child. Below, you will find a variety of different games, that can be played at home with just a deck of cards. It is my hope that you will try a few games with your child, as it is a fun way to help solidify and strengthen their number sense! Happy playing!
Oh No, 99 - Not One Hundred!
