Math Games for the Active Child

Interactive Story Problems
A little imagination on your part, plus a stopwatch, makes this one fun! You make up the story problem and your children act it out. Here are some examples:
If [your child’s name] runs from the mailbox to the back fence in [however long it takes him in seconds], and [another child’s name] runs the same path in [however long it takes her in seconds], how many minutes were spent running this route by both of them altogether?
If [name] threw the ball [measure in inches] and [Mom] threw the ball 9 inches less than that, how far did your amazing Mom throw?
You are going to time your child skipping, running, hopping, running backwards, race walking, and running on all fours. But first, let him or her rank the order in which they think they will do these, from fastest to slowest and estimate their times. Then time them and compare with their estimate.
After that, you can make up all sorts of story problems:
How much faster did you skip than hop?
How many minutes total did it take you to do all of them?
Which is faster – running and running backwards vs. race

Computer Games Continue To Increase In Popularity
Computer games are enjoyed just as much by adults as they are by children. Computer games are not just for pleasure but they can also teach you to think clearly and make quick decisions. The computer game is usually sold on standard storage media, such as compact discs, DVD, and floppy disks. Computer games are available for the home PC or can be played in different forms at Amusement arcades and many Corner stores.
Learning With Computers
Computers have the potential to address the requirements of a wide range of learning styles, and sometimes many needs can be accommodated within a single computer game program. Computer games allow you to step into their virtual worlds, to become part of the events that are taking place within the game. Computer games offer the pleasure of mastery, both visual and intellectual. Computer software today is not really that highly priced compared to other forms of common entertainment. Learning can sometimes become boring and repetitive but by using computer games to help with the learning process the attention span can be captured and maintained for many people including children
