Math games help develop logic and critical thinking and problem solving ability. The reason males were better in math and science than females was due to the fact that most boys played games where measurement and geometry was needed, both outside and inside the house, whereas girls did not. This is still true to some extent, but more females are doing mental exercises that require this left brain thinking. Adults involved in business will profit greatly from playing these games. Professors of business at many universities complain that their graduate students lack these problem solving skills.
All of the games can be made at home for little or no cost. Even the simplest looking games can improve one’s logical thinking. Great for home schools.
