Study finds board games boost kids’ math skills
A systematic review found 76% chance of improvement in early math skills from brief 10-minute sessions of linear number board games for preschool to eight-year-olds.
- Reported in the Review of Educational Research, a systematic review of 18 studies found linear-number board games improve early math skills in young children.
- By moving pieces along numbered paths, linear-number board games provide repeated practice with counting, number recognition, and reinforce that the last number counted equals the total, researchers advising adaptable early math activities said.
- The analysis found a 76% chance of improved numeracy, with just a few short, 10-minute play sessions producing lasting benefits.
- For educators and homeschoolers, the University of Oregon research team is designing adaptable games with levels and optional challenges for children with disabilities to support early math skills.
- Because early math predicts later success, the Report on research-backed games highlights Parents and caregivers reporting positive responses to adaptable activities based on children's readiness.
