At BeGenio –Easy Maths Skills, we have developed a new, exciting Maths Board Game that helps children love Maths, build confidence, enjoy maths more, increase their proficiency in maths and reduce mathematical anxiety. Our mission is to turn maths into a game that every child will love to play every time.
Sadly, many children experience low self-esteem and low self-confidence as a result, which can affect their life and future.
The bigger problem is that many parents are afraid of maths themselves and don’t know how to help their children.
Race To Infinity was developed to combat the challenges that we see affecting children and parents where Maths is concerned. We’ve been in this arena of maths games for kids since 1997 and the 3 most common problems we found is that many children:
Lack Confidence
Hate Maths, don’t see the point in doing it, or find it a boring chore.
Don't Believe In Themselves
Don’t believe they can get good at it. (Usually because they’ve been inadvertently told that by a parent or a teacher).
