Young Mathematicians Games with Fingers & Counters Kit

Playing these games with fingers and counters supports children’s understanding of early math concepts, from counting and cardinality to composing and decomposing numbers - the foundation of addition and subtraction.

When children play math games with their fingers and with simple counters, they are strengthening their number knowledge and their ability to visualize numbers in their minds. And, these games are easy to play anywhere because you only need your fingers or some simple objects to use as counters.

The Classroom Kit includes the Teacher Guide, Math Minibook and all the materials needed to play for up to 20 students.

The Family Kit includes the Teacher Guide, Math Minibook and all the materials needed to play.

The Teacher Guide provides an overview of the research behind the games along with easy-to-follow directions to each game and QR codes that link to videos about how to play each game as well as the mathematical concepts covered.

The Math Minibook complements the games with short stories and play-along activities that teachers or families can read and color with the children.
