In 2010, I had lost my teaching job at a private school. I ended up deschooling as an apprentice to an Open Classroom program for the residential homeschool children at Heathcote Community in Freeland, MD. Here, I developed the valuable skill set for creating a rich learning environment for kids so that they CHOOSE to play with their learning. This works super well for math too. Simply gather as many games from around your house that teach some kind of math concept and start stocking your math resources center with them. Invite your kids to help you.

This way, you’ll ensure, with their input, that you’ll be stocking it with games will use!

Here’s how:

Step #1 — I’ve put together my brand spanking new Gameschooling math Playlist found right here that will allow you and your kids to watch super short videos showing how many popular math games are played.

Step #2 — Let your kids watch with you and help decide what math games they want to get.

Step #3 — Borrow or purchase the games on eBay, Amazon, or at the Thriftstore

Step #4 — Can’t afford to buy games now? Go to Teachers Pay Teachers, set up a free account, click on the Free checkbox on the left-hand side off the site. Type in the math concept with the word “game” at the end of it. You’ll get THOUSANDS of games for many math concepts. Print them out. Laminate the ones your kids end up loving. Pro Tip: Select the Rating tag so you can pick from the most popular games.

Once you assemble all of your games, stock your math learning area with them. Allow your kids ample free time to play with those games. Of course you’ll want to play the games with them as well so they know how to play. Older siblings who know how to read could also teach younger siblings to play as well. If your child has siblings, they’ll most likely be drawn to play the games often with each other when you’re busy doing the myriad of other things that homeschool parents need to do.

Free play time for kids (where they choose their activities…inevitably it will be math games sometimes if you stock up well with their favorite games) is extremely healthy to build the following skills:

  1. Stimulate their imagination.
  2. Learn social skills.
  3. Learn to cooperate.
  4. Explore the world around them and figure out what they enjoy doing, possibly as a career one day.
