Maths Websites for Kids

Hi Dominique,
This is a great post. I definitely share your belief that the more kids can mix play with learning, the more rewarding their school experience can be. Video games have always been a passion of mine, but as you know, they have to be “mommy-approved”.
I’m going to play some of these and post some reviews on my blog “Kids computer games recommendations”. Thanks for the great references!
