A Creative Way To Make Kids Learn
I created this board game to solve problems where children are afraid of maths. It is nice for parents and children to be able to play together without stress, pain or struggle. Parents can now help their children effectively and make a positive difference in their children’s lives, without the fear of not knowing enough maths or the fear of confusing the child with old methods.
