Summer vacation evenings are all about lazing about with the family with board games. Well, at least they used to be until we caught up with the times and technology! My daughter is still enjoying her summer vacation and a lot of moms like me worry that doing absolutely no homework or practice while on vacation will make them forget their school lessons. And make it that much harder to get back to school mode when school reopens.
But every parent knows just how hard it is to get their kids to sit down to do some studying during a school break. So how do you make them practice math for example? Here is a sneaky way to do it!
Numbler is one app you must download right now!
What is Numbler?
A Scrabble-like game that helps you build math equations in a crossword-like style. In other words, picture a Scrabble board with numbers instead of letters!
How To Play?
Just like how we combine letters to make words in Scrabble, we use numbers and operator symbols to form mathematical equations. Â Here is how they can play the game:
1. Each turn must use at least 1 tile from the board and 2 tiles from your hand
2. All adjacent tiles must be part of a true and complete equation
3. Tiles cannot be moved once they are played
4. Players may choose to pass and forfeit their turn
5. The game ends when both players pass twice in succession
You can play this game with another player or against the computer too, where you get to set the difficulty level. Numbler also gives you an option to play the game online via Game Center. The best part about the app is that it gets your kids to think while framing the equations and in turn, hone their math skills even when on a holiday. An ideal travel game, Numbler is the one app that will help you bond with the kids in a fun and engaging way.
