Area 4 Kids

Fun Math Challenges for Kids

Scroll to the bottom to get to the pages themselves.

I have a nephew, Liam, is likes to do math. I’m Dr. O. I like math too.

I’m creating this area to give him, and other kids, fun math things to do. (Right now we are under the COVID-19 Disease Outbreak, which has everyone at home, well, kinda wishing they were in school.)

I’m going to be focusing on the Math Playground.

I plan to make videos to introduce you to a game or puzzle. Then you can go there and play with it.

I can’t predict where all this will go. I don’t know how long the outbreak will last.

I don’t know if you find this helpful
