Majestic One
Intended for ages 8 and up and suitable for two to four players, Majestic One is a fraction board game that challenges kids to understand the concepts of fractions. Players move around the board collecting fractions of blocks and combining them to complete blocks. The design visually engages children to focus on the abstract thinking fractions require. Game problems address common denominators, equivalency, sums of one in various combinations and relative size. Different levels of play are available, covering halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and twelfths.
SALE - A Consumer Math Game
SALE - A Consumer Math Game is intended for ages 9 to 14 years and suitable for two to six participants. Players receive fake money, spin a dial and move pawns around the game board, all the while facing money-related decisions. Various stores, sales and situations confront players as they land on each space. They can purchase an item on sale or pass on a turn and save their money up for bigger purchases. Kids practice counting, decision-making and financial transaction record-keeping skills during play. The person with the most money saved at the end of the game wins.
Multiplication & Division Quizmo
Multiplication & Division Quizmo is intended for ages 8 and up and suitable for two to 40 people, so an entire class could play. This is a bingo-style card game, so kids can compete against classmates individually or gather in teams for different rounds of play. Forty double-sided cards and more than 100 problem cards are included. Multiplication problems are on one side of the cards and division occupies the other.
A single "caller" shouts out individual equations, giving players a chance to do the problem in their head and then search their cards for the proper answer. Should the correct answer be on their card they get to cover that space with a chip. The first person or team with a fully covered row wins.
