Most of us had at least one cousin or friend who was unbeatable at complex board games or card games but scored poorly in exams! 

In all probability, he might have been demoralized by the conventional method of math teaching in most schools based on memorizing formulae.

However, there’s hope. Math education is undergoing a sea change with the growing acceptance of recreational activities in mathematics across the world including India.

 The aim of fun based learning (of which smart math games are a subset) is to enable those who are not proficient in math to grasp mathematical concepts – and thereby, procure mathematical aptitude.

A game is a series of choices that we make to arrive at a particular outcome. 

Each move (depending on the complexity), therefore, entails strategic thinking, critical thinking, and problem solving among others. This can greatly help in developing mathematical aptitude.And this is one of the reasons why games are important.

Recreational activities in mathematics are important to be included in learning because they provide fun based learning to rather complex and critical math concepts.
