It's Math and It's Fun!

From 1+1=2 to E=mc2, equations are at the heart of mathematics. And making equations fun is at the heart of NUMBER JUGGLERS. An innovative approach that works for kids of all different skill levels, NUMBER JUGGLERS offers 20 games plus variations that encourage children to think, reason, and create with numbers. Played alone, in groups, in teams, or with the whole family, these equation games are based on every child's intuitive understanding of how numbers relate to one another. And since there is no "right" way to achieve success, kids invent their own open-ended learning experiences while building mental-math techniques and problem-solving strategies.
