It’s okay

It’s a fun game but the math is really to easy ( like literarily 2-_=4) you can get harder math for 3 US dollars if you could use Collected coins to buy harder math that would make the game a LOT better, overall though it’s a good game.

Cool game

Panda math run is a cool game, you can play it anywhere. I read the reviews, and it said it was “easy”. If it is easy, pay 5.00$ and get advanced math lizard. The problems are not “easy”. If that is easy, then the game is not your age level. I would like if there was levels, or more characters. I would also like if you could unlock characters, and do more math. Great game!

4 stars

I agree it’s a fun and addictive game but why do you have to pay for characters and I like the math where you don’t have a problem every minute

3 math games that will make your child a genius

Have you met such lucky people who win in any game? What helps them? Knowledge? Capabilities? Or maybe it's just luck or an accident? It turns out that randomness is a concept that underlies a special mathematical science called probability theory. The methods of the theory of probability make it possible to discover certain patterns in the vast oceans of chance, to choose the most suitable one from the many available possibilities. nine0003

Racing

The game can be played by up to 12 people at the same time. To understand how a pattern emerges from randomness, draw treadmills, number them from 1 to 12 and break them into equal parts - divisions. Each player chooses a treadmill for himself and puts his horse - a chip on the start. One of the players rolls 2 dice. The player whose horse is on the track with a number equal to the sum of the points rolled on the dice moves his chip forward.

Play this game several times, choosing lanes with different numbers. Now have each player answer the following questions:

Did you choose track number 1?
Did you choose track number 1 or 12?
Is there a track you chose most often?
What determined your choice of lane at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the game?
Did you notice a pattern in the game? Is there a sum of points that falls more often on two dice?

If you answered the last question, which is 6, 7, 8 points most often, then you correctly noticed the pattern! Having learned to identify patterns in a mass of accidents, you can learn to evaluate your chances of winning. nine0003

Heads or Tails

Try to determine if the odds of getting heads and tails are the same when flipping a coin. If you do a lot of experiments on tossing a coin, then you will notice that heads and tails will fall out about the same number of times, that is, they will have about the same chance of falling out.

If you roll a die, then the chances of getting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 points are also about the same.

Therefore, if you are playing checkers with a friend, and when drawing the right to make the first move, you use a coin or a die (for example, the one who rolls an even number of points goes first), then the draw is fair, since the chances of the first move are the same. nine0003

Game with matches

And now let's look at another option for playing the first move: your partner takes 3 matches - 2 long, 1 short, invites you to draw 2 matches. If they turn out to be the same in length, you will go first, if they are different, your partner will go first.

Will such a play of the first move be fair?

To answer this question, consider which matches can be pulled out if 1 match is long, 2 matches are long, 3 matches are short: 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 1 and 3. Only in one case from three, you can pull out 2 long matches, which means that the second player has 2 times more chances. Such a rally is unfair, you should not agree to it. nine0003

The ability to determine your chances of winning can be trained. Try to solve the problem.

Think of any one-digit number except 0. Multiply it by 2. Add 3 to the product. Multiply the sum by 5. Drop the first digit or, if you got a three-digit number, the first two digits. The remaining number - the last digit - multiply by itself. You got 25.

Try to explain how to guess the answer!

By solving a variety of tasks with ingenuity, your child will not only have fun, but also learn to reason and think logically. By filling in "magic squares", "entertaining frames", finishing a drawing or table "according to the rule", the child will develop observation skills and learn to establish patterns. Performing geometric tasks related to building, modeling or constructing figures, drawing a route of movement or a pattern, the child will learn to use various drawing tools, which will help develop spatial imagination. And most importantly, your child will appreciate the beauty of the queen of all sciences, and the subject "mathematics" will become one of his favorites. nine0003

7 outdoor math games that will brighten up your isolation

Making math and physical education together seems to be the cherished dream of most parents. If you are already tired of a pencil and a piece of paper, it's time to pick up your feet (or a ball) and learn how to count while jumping. Marina Raukh, teacher of the Math Paths project, offers several games that will captivate the whole family. nine0003

1. "Touching mail"

Age: 3-6 years old

This game was watched on the YouTube channel "Physical culture about other things". In general, it is more corporeal than mathematical, but it can still help develop counting skills and definition of forms. The game gives a wonderful feeling of the body, helps to relax, develops memory and attention.

The child lies on the floor on his stomach, and the adult writes dots, sticks, simple figures on his back. The child does not see what the adult is doing and must, based on his feelings, repeat the "message" on the floor. It is important to correctly determine the number and shape of the figures. I recommend starting with two points. And be sure to switch roles! nine0003

2. "Confectionery Factory"

Age: 4-7 years old

Preschoolers will probably like this game more: it allows them to master elementary counting skills in the most playful way. It will require a little but exciting preparation. The child needs to make (make from plasticine, paint pasta, draw) sweets, cookies, marshmallows and other sweets.

Children will work as "packers". They receive a task from a technologist (mother) and must put as many sweets into the bag as indicated on the technological card. You can develop the plot and build the confectionery factory itself with the children, using chairs, bedspreads, tables and other materials at hand. nine0003

When the game gets a little bored, try adding new game elements, such as drawing passes or signing the number of confectionery products on the package, you can build a store at the confectionery factory, also risk adding a cash register, enter price tags, money.

This game can be developed and complicated depending on your imagination and the imagination of the child. If you happen to have a clock with a dial where the hands can be moved, try adding factory and store hours. Probably, this game will captivate children for a long time, and both dad and grandmother, and any adult relative can play for the technologist. nine0003

3. "Mathematical classics"

Age: 5-8 years old

This game is good for learning numbers and developing counting skills. Draw a square with a section of 3 by 3 cells on the floor using crayons or masking tape. Draw numbers from 1 to 9 in them. You will get a kind of classic. Next, the mother gives instructions on where to move the child (to the right, left or forward), and the child must jump onto this cell and name its number.

You can make it more difficult by giving the child tasks in the form of an example. For example, "Jump 2+3 or 7-4". Or "jump to the number that comes after 4." For older children, try increasing the field and the number of cells. You can add a sports element, set certain physical exercises for each number. For example, the number 3 is 3 squats, the number 6 is 6 jumps on the left leg, the number 8 is 8 arm swings. Very convenient: 15 minutes, and the child has already worked out both mathematics and physical education. nine0003

4. "Robot"

Age: 5–99

The game develops programming skills and teaches children to navigate in space. The parent gives commands to the child: one step to the right, three steps straight, two steps to the left. You can add a goal where the child must reach, or obstacles. If he followed all the commands correctly, then he gets to the toy (or something tasty, which for some reason is more motivating). You can also ask the child to draw up a route plan before completing the task and write down all the steps in advance. nine0003

Another way is to play robot with your eyes closed. We blindfold the child, he is a robot, but his video camera is broken, and therefore the operator (mother) controls his actions. For example: "Two steps forward, turn right, three steps forward, stop, move on, turn right again."

Can be made more difficult by adding obstacles and commands like "crouch, crawl, step over". Gently try to increase the pace. And if you have a second child and a dad, you can play in two pairs, the main thing is to avoid an accident. Then mother and child switch roles. Adults, just don't peep! Do you trust your child? For me, this is the hardest part. Psychologists also love this game. Why do you think? nine0003

5. Quick Count

Age: 6-10 years old

This is a fun and dynamic ball game that develops mental counting well. Try to play fast.

For preschoolers. The leader throws the ball and says a number (for example, 9), and the child who catches it must name two neighboring ones (8 and 11).

For schoolchildren. The leader throws the ball and says a number (for example, 11), and the child names the previous number (10), and then the sum of the number of the leader and the resulting number - in this case 21 (11 + 10 = 21). nine0003

6. "Try to add and try to subtract"

Age: 8-13 years old

This game is great for developing mental counting. Players throw the ball to each other by adding or subtracting a certain number. For example, we choose the addition option, where the players will only add the number. Let it be 16. The first player calls any number, for example 9, the next one must say 25 (9 + 16) and so on.
