Sheppard Software offers a couple of cute games for the youngest math students. In this game, called Bugabaloo Addition, children are shown a number of "bug shoes" on the left and the right. The game asks the child to add the two groups of shoes together, and then pick the bug with the correct number printed on it. This game teaches addition through a graphical display that lets the child see and count the shoes. With the numbers right underneath, children easily make the association between the visual cues and the act of addition. Math based games Trusted tutors for 300 subjects

What Makes A Good Math Game?
Another benefit of using math games with elementary students is that they help reduce students’ fears of making mistakes. Many students are hesitant to participate in whole-class activities because they fear making a mistake in front of their peers. Math games provide a small group or partner setting where making a mistake doesn’t feel like such a big risk, and the consequences of making a mistake are very low since it is just a game. When students build confidence in a small group or partner setting it is often transferred to the whole group setting over time.
