By award-winning educator Kelli Pearson (recognized by the Mom’s Choice Awards for Kitten Math 2)

Ditch the drill and toss those flash cards in the recycle bin—there’s a better, more exciting way to learn math!

Miss Brain’s Cool Math Games gives kids meaningful practice through fun, fast-paced dice and card games that build confidence without the stress. The more they play, the more they learn… and they’ll love every minute of it.

In this completely revised and updated third edition, you’ll find 39 delightfully fun math games designed for kids in grades 1–3. These games boost real math skills while helping kids overcome anxiety, improve their skills, and have fun with math while connecting with family and friends.

Choose the style that works for your family:

1. Target a skill your child needs to practice and choose a game from that chapter.

2. Start at the beginning and play your way through all 39 games so you don’t miss any.

3. Pick a game at random just because it looks fun—and play it again and again.

A great math game eases anxiety, ends math battles, encourages persistence, and gives kids the kind of practice that actually sticks. These games work beautifully for mixed-ability groups, so younger and older players (or grownups!) can play together without anyone having an unfair advantage.

Ideal for 2–4 players.

• Number sense & place value games

• Addition & subtraction games

• Counting money games

• Early multiplication & division games

• Fun, visual challenges kids ask to play again

These games turn math practice into something kids want to do—helping learners build confidence, develop number sense, and truly enjoy math.
