Here are a few of our family’s favorite math games. Is your family’s favorite math game listed here?
Sumoku
SumokuSumoku is a crossword-style math game; a mathy and brilliantly-colored math game that will remind you of Bananagrams… but with numbers!
Count Down!
We LOVE this game. It is so versatile! Count-Down is for 2-4 players and teaches math skills that grow with your child. Whether you need to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, Count Down is the game for you. Your children will have those math facts down in no time flat!
Twenty-Four
Do you guys remember playing Twenty-Four as a kid? I sure do! I won it, eons ago, during a Yankee Swap. Twenty-Four travels easily and is a great way to practice those math facts in a fun way, and on the go. The game offers three levels of challenge so it can grow with your family.
Clumsy Thief
Clumsy Thief is an award-winning, fun, easy-to-learn, quick-to-play, fast-paced math facts game. Your children will be so caught up in the action that they won’t even realize they are learning their math facts. Warning: this game is addictive and your children will request to play it over and over and over again!
Math Dice, Jr.
I love this game because you can modify it for younger players. So, for Seuss (3.5 years), we roll the dice and let him count the dots to get the total. For T (5.5 years), we roll several dice and have her add the numbers together. For Leo, we roll the target dice and then he attempts to reach a target number with the other dice. So many variations in an easy-to-travel pouch! If you like Math Dice, Jr., be sure to check out ThinkFun’s other Math Dice, including Math Dice Chase!
Prime Climb
I am a proud Prime Club Kickstarter supporter and eagerly awaited its arrival last year. This is a fantastic mathematical game, especially for the visual learners in your life. Young children learning addition will love this game, as will the adults in their life as the game offers a strategic twist.

Ooh great choices. I’d say it’s a toss between Rummikub and Yatzee.
Oooh I love both of those TOO!
One of our favorite card games is Cribbage! It’s been around forever, is great for teaching kids to look for all possible ways to add up to 15 in your hand (and look for pairs, triplets, and runs as well). You also have to decide which two cards to discard from your hand, and think about the odds of how well the cards you keep might work with the common card that will be turned up. It’s also portable – all you need is a deck of cards and a small scoreboard.
Oh my gosh! A blast from the past. I have to teach my kids that one!

We are using Math Dice Jr. We let our 6 year old add or subtract to reach the target number. We also got Disney Tsum Tsum Bubble Fever xmas and the math definitely comes at the end when tallying scores. She’s not “up to speed” completely with the game, but she’s getting there.
