Mom's Clever Math Game Boosts Son's Addition Skills

A Connecticut mother, Lexi Hagen, has found a fun and effective way to help her eight-year-old son improve his math skills. She uses a Shut the Box game, modifying the rules slightly to focus on addition. "Whatever you roll," she explains in the video, "you can put down that number or two numbers that add up to that number." The result? Her son has become significantly faster at addition. Hagen plans to adapt the game to teach subtraction. This simple game demonstrates the potential for parents to use playful learning methods to support their children's education. The game's success highlights the importance of engaging learning techniques, offering a practical example for other parents seeking effective ways to help their children master math concepts.
