Funbrain Math Soccer (Grade 2)

Games with action combined with math often teach things quickly.  They're usually having so much fun they don't realize that they're learning and mastering their math skills!  My girls learned algebra at least 3 years before they ever had it in school thanks to a computer game called Algebra Dragons.  Similar to this game, you had to figure out the answer before moving to the next step.

Here's a fun math game called MATH SOCCER.  It's geared to second grade math.  You shoot a ball into a goal, but...in order to get past the goalie, you have to answer a question.  It's a flash game, and they play it online at the Fun Brain website.  This link I'm giving takes you to their main page.  All of the games are listed as either word games and number games, or you can go to the right hand side and choose a grade level from kindergarten up to grade 8.  People often say that todays kids spend too much time on the computer, but when it's a game they actually learn from, it then becomes a helpful tool.  Check out Fun Brains website, it's really cool, and I think kids will love it!!
